Discover the magic of our exciting expedition to the Vale dos Deuses in Teresópolis city. Explore breathtaking landscapes, andd immerse yourself in the rich heritage of our destination.
Our Vale dos Deuses Trekking Expedition in Rio de Janeiro, will take you to the Três Picos State Park in Nova Friburgo-RJ is one of those places that a lot of people have heard about, but actually, because of its more famous neighbor, the Serra dos Orgãos, ends up being forgotten. But due to its comfort lodge located right in the middle of the mountains we visit, and the high quality of the hikes and landscapes, it becomes a very interesting alternative if you are an outdoor enthusiast who also enjoys a little comfort.
As it brings together trekking in beautiful landscapes and isolation, it is an excellent option for those looking for peace and interaction with nature.
There are 2 trails that we visit during our stay, that lead to 2 different peaks: the Cabeça de Dragão – Dragon`s Head (2018m) and the Caixa de Fósforo – Matchbox (1791m).
