Aguja del Diablo, Mountain summit in Serra dos Órgãos National Park, Brazil
Aguja del Diablo is a needle-shaped mountain summit in Serra dos Órgãos National Park, rising to approximately 2050 meters. The formation features sheer rock walls on multiple sides that create a distinctive vertical profile when viewed from surrounding areas.
The sources record no first-ascent date or expedition for Agulha do Diabo, so its climbing history cannot be dated. What they do establish is its position: the 2,050 m rock formation lies in Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro state, inside Serra dos Órgãos National Park, between Pedra do Sino and the Garrafão peak. Access runs via the Caminho das Orquídeas after the Pedra do Sino trail.
