Pico do Papagaio
Hike through the rainforest and up to Pico do Papagaio, the highest point on the island. Take some light food, plenty of water, and hire a local guide to take you up this steep climb. The trek can take several hours to complete, and you do need an experienced local to show you the way through the thick Brazilian jungle. This trail is worth every drop of sweat, because at the top (which looks like a parrot, hence the peak’s name) you are rewarded with a view of the entire island and the town below . Pick a clear day to avoid clouds obscuring the final vista. Lucky visitors also get to see howler monkeys, the region’s noisiest residents. With our custom trip planner, Ilha Grande attractions like Pico do Papagaio can be center stage of your vacation plans, and you can find out about other attractions like it, unlike it, near it, and miles away.

Sensational, really each one has a view regarding the effort made. Pico do Papagaio is proof of this, every effort made on the climb is very well rewarded.

Amazing place Unmatched view of ILHA GRANDE The ascent is difficult and exhausting, but it is worth it, it is approximately 6 HRS round trip. Take plenty of water, fruit and something to eat. We went during the day without a guide, but for the TREKKING at night it is advisable to go with a guide, since Almost reaching the Peak, the path is not well marked. It is a high difficulty
-
Excellent experience. It is a long trek, but not hard, mind you, it was the impression I had, perhaps because we did the ascent at dawn and the temperatures were much lower during the day. Anyway, don't stop doing it. The excursion to see the sunrise starts at 1am, from Abraao, recommendation, yes or yes with a guide in this case. Although the path is marked and it could be done alone, if you did not know, you would run the risk of getting lost, so if your plan is to save the 150R of the excursion, do it only during the day. From the beach, you leave equipped with flashlights, headbands and a trekking stick, for your part, light food and 1.5l of water. The bed is approximately 4 hours of all the way up, we made three stops, but do what you need, it's not a matter of killing yourself either. If you like trekking and adventure, do it. Super recommended.

The best view of Ilha Grande

Incredible. Visual that can be seen in the videos and photos I posted. Hard to describe the beauty. Tough climb that gets a bit technical at the end.
