Três Picos State Park, Protected nature reserve in Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region, Brazil.

Três Picos State Park extends across 466 square kilometers of Atlantic Forest, featuring mountain peaks that reach heights of 2,316 meters above sea level.

The state government established this conservation area in 2002 through decree 31.343 to safeguard the remaining sections of Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro.

Mountaineering communities gather at the park to tackle over 100 climbing routes, including the Grande Leste path on Pico Maior de Friburgo.

The park spans across five municipalities - Cachoeira de Macacu, Nova Friburgo, Teresópolis, Silva Jardim, and Guapimirim - with multiple access points for visitors.

The elevation variations from 100 to 2,316 meters create distinct ecosystems, from dense rainforests to cloud forests and alpine meadows.
