This is one of the most beautiful National Park nearby Rio. It stretches along of Organ's Range from Petropolis to Teresopolis. The park has several trails into the tropical forest crossing several Mountains, leading to outstanding scenery.
However the lack of infrastructure along with lack of maintenance spoil the opportunity to be one of the greatest place for hikers in Rio de Janeiro State.

Pedra do Sino ("bell stone") is the highest peak (2.275m) of Serra dos Órgãos and offers you spetacular views of the many beautiful surrounding peaks and up to the city of Rio de Janeiro in a clear day.
The peak is in Serra dos Órgãos National Park, in the city of Teresópolis, about 100km from Rio de Janeiro city center.
The trail: It's an easy -- but VERY long -- walk until the top. More than 10km, usually more than 3 hours in a good pace (not rushing) each way. Do not go if you're not used to long walks.
Lenght: You can do it in a single day (arrive early -- 8 am -- to do that) or you can spend a night in a basic lodge very close to the peak (15 min.), or even camp in the lodge area. Check prices and reservation with the National Park before you go (the lodge is usually full in fridays and saturdays during the winter season)
Money: Price to the trail in jun/12 was R$ 30 for brazilians and R$ 55 for foreigners for a single day. It's more expensive (but not the double) if you stay there 2 days.
When to go: Winter days are usually clearer -- but always check the weather before you go. You may see nothing at the peak in a cloudy day.
Who is able to go: Anyone in good shape.

Be sure to follow the street signs & not Waze, we got side tracked into tiny streets and almost got stuck... once you get to the trail, the hike is super easy (20mins) & the view from the top, fantastic! Worth a visit when in Teresopolis

You actually can see this mountain called Finger of God from Rio De Janeiro. But once you enter Teresopolis it is magestic. For Mountain climbers it is awonderful epereince. Sunrize is spectacular. It can be cold because of the altitude.

teresópolis is a town in the mountain region of the State of Rio, about 1:30 drive away. This orchidário is a small area, and by no means pay for a trip there if you are not in the region. Wanna see orchids in Rio? Go to the Botanic Garden

Resting beside the Brazilian National Football Team's training ground, You can see the lovely lake, with beautiful vista of the surrounding Mountains.
If the National team is training, it's highly doubtful you can have a enjoyable outing unless you are a fan.
Otherwise it's a lovely place for picnics, and day out with the kids.

The elevated walkway through the forest is a must. Take water to re-hydrate, a good camera and you're ready for a relaxing hike with a soundtrack of birds and the occasional monkey.

This is a mountian resort which is a getaway for many people living in Rio. Many have second homes here. It is much cooler because of the altitude. It is also famous for the mountain DEDO DE DEUS (Finger of God).Nature lovers and hikers can climp up to the peak.leave early in the morning and watch the sunrize.
