Pico do Marumbi State Park, State park in Morretes, Brazil.
Pico do Marumbi State Park is a protected mountain area within the Serra do Mar range covered by thick Atlantic Forest with eight different peaks. The landscape displays steep slopes, natural streams, and lush vegetation shaped by humid climate conditions.
The area was established as a protected reserve to preserve the unique mountain landscape and Atlantic Forest. The region has a long history of exploration by mountaineers who climbed its peaks over the generations.
The name Marumbi comes from the Tupi language and means "Mountain of the Gods". Locals and visitors have long associated this place with mountaineering and nature exploration.
The location is best reached by train from Curitiba, offering a scenic journey through mountain terrain. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, weather-resistant clothing, and plenty of water, as trails are demanding and often wet.
A system of waterfalls cuts through the area, with some forming natural pools where visitors can swim during warmer seasons. These water spots are hidden places you may discover by chance while hiking.
