Route

Access is from the Abrigo Rebouças, from where you hike for about 45 minutes, along 1.3 km of flat, well-marked trail, to the base of the massif. From the base, which has no visitor limit and does not require a guide, there are forks to other summits of the massif. To continue to the Pico das Agulhas Negras, there is a limit of 80 visitors per day, and being accompanied by a guide is mandatory. The climb is tricky and steep, and there is a short climbing section along the way, on a 5-meter wall.
