Pedra Grande

Nestled within the expansive Cantareira State Park, one of the world’s largest urban parks, Pedra Grande stands as a prominent natural landmark. Located north of São Paulo, this granite lookout point rises to an impressive height of over 0.6 miles (1 kilometer). The park itself is a vital preserve of the region’s Atlantic Forest, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in lush, verdant landscapes. From the summit of Pedra Grande, hikers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding forest and the city beyond, making it a rewarding destination for those seeking both adventure and scenic beauty.
