Pedra Bonita

Pedra Bonita, a granite peak nestled within Rio de Janeiro’s Tijuca National Park, translates to ‘Beautiful Rock’ and offers a serene natural escape. Gentle inclines and well-placed steps make it accessible for casual hikers and those with limited time. The trail winds through lush greenery, leading to panoramic views that attract both hikers and paragliders. Today, visitors can enjoy a relatively easy hike to the summit, where they can take in the sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape or watch paragliders launch from the cliff edge.
