Self-portrait on the hike of Serra dos Orgãos National Park. Created on November 30, 1939, PARNASO (Serra dosOrgãos National Park) is the third oldest park in Brazil, representing an important milestone in the history of Brazilian Conservation Units. It is one of the best places in the country to practice mountain sports, such as climbing, hiking, abseiling and others; besides having fantastic waterfalls. The Park has the largest network of trails in Brazil. There are more than 200 kilometers of trails at all levels of difficulty: from the suspended trail, accessible to wheelchair users, to the heavy Traverse Petrópolis-Teresópolis, with 30 km of uphill and downhill high mountains.
