Pedra Bonita, Mountain summit in Tijuca National Park, Brazil

The granite peak of Pedra Bonita rises to 696 meters above sea level, offering extended views of Rio de Janeiro and the Atlantic Ocean.

The summit served as a strategic observation point for early settlers in Rio de Janeiro during the colonial period of the 18th century.

Local hiking groups organize weekly expeditions to Pedra Bonita, connecting Rio residents with nature through guided educational mountain experiences.

The moderate hiking trail to reach Pedra Bonita extends 3.5 kilometers and requires approximately two hours to complete with proper hiking shoes.

The summit features a dedicated launch platform where hang gliders and paragliders take off daily, floating above São Conrado beach.
