Conjunto Marumbi, Mountain massif in Paraná, Brazil
Conjunto Marumbi is a mountain massif with multiple peaks, including Mount Olimpo at 1,539 m (5,049 ft), set within an 8,745 hectare protected Atlantic Forest area. The range displays distinct geological formations with characteristic diabase dikes that separate individual peaks.
The first ascent of Mount Olimpo happened in 1879 by Joaquim Olimpio Carmeliano de Miranda, marking the start of mountaineering activities in Brazil. This early climb set the foundation for the area's later development as a climbing destination.
The name Marumbi comes from the Tupi language and means Blue Mountain, connecting visitors to the indigenous heritage of the region. This name still shapes how people speak about and experience the place today.
Entry to the area requires registration at the gate, and visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions in the forest. The best time to visit is during drier months when trails are most accessible.
The range includes several notable peaks like Boa Vista at 1,491 m (4,892 ft) and Gigante at 1,487 m (4,879 ft), each with its own climbing character and appeal. These separate summits offer different perspectives and levels of challenge for various climbing experiences.
