This holiday visits three of the best mountain areas in Brazil to climb and scramble. We'll begin with five days in Rio de Janeiro before moving on to the Itatiaia national park and then the Pedra do Bau. The trip is open to those who want to climb and those who would rather walk or scramble, we will offer alternative routes every day.

Probably the best climbing in Brazil is in and around Rio de Janeiro. This is a city with plenty of mountains, there are steep 200m crags right by the pavements in Urca. The world famous landmark of the Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf) peak is an easy scramble. Climbing and walking in the dramatic coastal scenery and vibrant culture of Rio is an unforgettable experience.

After our time climbing by the beaches of Rio we will visit the impressive Pedra do Bau in the scenic Serra da Mantiqueria. There are climbing routes and "via ferrata" of up to 300m long on this peak and on the neighbouring peaks of Ana Chata and the Bauzinho. Elsewhere in the mountains of Brazil there is excellent climbing and scrambling in the Itatiaia national park, including the peak of Agulhas Negras 2787m, which has both easy scrambling and harder rock climbing routes on it's flank.

This holiday includes all transport, accommodation and logistics plus a full guided service. Whether you want to walk, scramble or climb, we will lead you up some of the best routes, peaks and crags in Brazil.
