Route description:
The trail begins immediately from the small parking area just
after and left of the cattle guard. One will soon descend slightly
to the bottom of a mini-valley with the higher hill opposite.
A fence runs down the hill with an open gate. The trail is a bit
confused by tall gras. Do not pass through the gate, rather pick
up a steepish trail that runs uphill with the fence now¨directly on your left side.
Once up this steep hill, the remaining hike is a stroll on a pretty good trail. The route
runs gently across a couple of smaller hills,
then ascends to the highest point. A huge
boulder marks the highpoint,
a metal inscription is located nearby.
Here is a quick summary of peaks climbed on this trip to Brazil.
A track is posted on Peakbagger. Comments:
This was a nice, short walk mostly on or near
href="../Brazil/9965_chapeu.jpg">fields of pasture with
grazing cattle.
The drive to the trailhead was slightly more challenging than the hike.
A pretty narrow farm road with slippery surface due to recent rain.
The hike took about 1:15 to the summit, a little less back. We enjoyed the
good weather and stayed
on the summit for quite some time.
