Trilha Pico do Boné

Description

Pico do Boné (“Cap Peak”), which gets its name from its appearance when viewed from a distance, stands at 1,870 meters above sea level, and its summit is a small plateau measuring 10 by 15 meters, where vegetation of small shrubs and a large number of red-flowered bromeliads predominate. It is one of the highest peaks in the Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro. From its summit, there is a magnificent 360° panoramic view, where you can see the seas of hills: to the east, the district of Bom Jesus do Madeira; to the south, the Serra do Grama and Pedra do Pato; to the north, Pico do Soares and Pedra Branca; and to the west, the municipality of Araponga.

Tips

Climbing to the actual summit of Pico do Boné is not permitted by the Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro. The ascent is up a rock wall, with high exposure to heights and a risk of falling. There are no ropes or steel cables at the site - to discourage the climb.

Route

Starting from the Pousada Remanso (Seu Dico's), the closest place to the trailhead, you walk along a dirt/mud road until you enter the forest area, which is intermediate and wooded, with several shaded spots. Along the trail, the hiker passes a waterfall, a cave where the Pedra do Descanso is, and a stunning lookout. There are uphill and downhill stretches on the hike, and the use of trekking poles is recommended. The trail goes up to the last plateau of the rock wall that leads to the summit. From this plateau there is also a beautiful view. The lookout, a few meters below, is one of the most beautiful attractions in the region.
