Itinerary
The Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos, or Serra dos Órgãos National Park, is a stunning protected area located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Spanning over 20,000 hectares, it is known for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and challenging mountain trails. The park takes its name from the impressive rock formations that resemble giant organs, which can be observed in certain areas. These formations are a prominent feature of the park's rugged mountain range, which is part of the larger Serra do Mar mountain system. Within the park, visitors can explore a variety of natural attractions, including deep valleys, towering peaks, crystal-clear rivers, and dense forests. The park's diverse ecosystems support a wide range of plant and animal species, many of which are endemic to the region.
Our first stop is visiting the waterfalls in the lower sector of the Serra dos Órgãos National Park for a nice bath! The Poço Verde(Green pool) with green water is a captivating natural feature that combines the beauty of cascading water with the striking hue of green. This type of pool is typically formed at the base of a waterfall, where the water collects and creates a serene and picturesque environment. The green color of the water in such a pool is often a result of natural processes or environmental factors. It can be caused by the presence of minerals, algae, or vegetation in the water, giving it a unique and enchanting appearance.
Stop off at the Visitor Centre where we will provide some historical information about the Serra dos Órgãos National Park.
As you start the trail, you'll find yourself immersed in lush Atlantic Forest, with its diverse flora and fauna surrounding you. The trail gradually ascends, taking you through dense vegetation and occasionally opening up to breathtaking vistas along the way. From the top of Trilha Cartão Postal (the Postcard Trail) you can admire the majestic Dedo de Deus (Finger of God) peak, a famous rock formation that resembles a hand pointing towards the sky. This iconic landmark is one of the main attractions of the Serra dos Órgãos National Park and serves as a symbol of Teresópolis.

Beautiful experience accompanied by Sylvio a super nice guide and who knows his job well, and the environment concerned by the visit. Pleasant car conversation on various societal and other topics. A nice hike not difficult with great views. And at the end, a swim in a beautiful waterfall reached by a small path. Fresh water, but we're not in the mountains and it feels good. Do not hesitate for a moment. If I return, I will certainly call on this claimant. Marc France

I went hiking in the Serra Dos Órgãos National Park and had a really great time! The scenery there is fantastic and the hiking on the trails in the park involves all of the senses, the sounds, fresh smell of the forest, feeling the mist in the forest-a really great time. I was guided by Thalles who is very knowledgeable of the park and area and a very cool guy to talk with in general. We went to two waterfalls also that were very nice and we swam in the crystal clear pool of one of them. A really peaceful and scenic place. I highly recommend this hike if you love nature as I do.

The hiking adventure in Serra dos Orgaos National park is both a very scenic and fun experience. The beauty of the forest and the sounds and smell of the forest is so refreshing. The scenery of the mountains ridges there are really something to see and you can view them from several good viewpoints along the hike. We also visited two waterfalls and swam in one of the pools in front of one of them. The water was great and the pools of water were crystal clear. Thalles, who guided me, speaks perfect English and explained a lot about the forest and many other things about life in Brazil in general, plus he is a very interesting and cool person to talk with. This was both a great hiking and great learning experience and I highly recommend it for people who love hiking in nature! 👍
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We will share this with Thalles to let him know and to keep up the amazing work. RIO NATURAL ECOTOURISM
Superb day with Daniel, very well organized, waterfall, walks and magnificent views! For nature lovers, who like to breathe the fresh air and get out of Rio to enjoy the region ♥️ can be easily organized over a day, leaving at 7:30 a.m. and returning at 3:30 p.m., so as not to miss the sunset

An incredible walk, the best secret in the state of Rio de Janeiro. a day to immerse yourself in the nature of the Atlantic Forest. For me, one of the most beautiful natural monuments I have ever seen. The 5 km trail of moderate difficulty, guided by Paulo's professionalism and kindness, takes you to three viewpoints that allow you to appreciate the majesty of the hills that make up the Organ Mountains. To finish the walk, a pleasant swim in the warm waters of the blue well.
