We decided to climb Pico da Bandeira, Brazil's third highest peak, in mid-January in spite of wet weather forecast in line with the rain season. We travelled by car from Rio, a 7 hrs drive with a stop over in Teresopolis. The drive to Alta Caparao, the overnight base for the hike, is a beautiful never-ending landscape of green ⁶hills covered in tropical forest or v withn flowing down the muddy and rocky paths. From Tronqueira, it is about a 3 hrs up and 3 hrs down to reach Pico da Bandeira. The path is a mix of forest at lower altitude and open rocky but mostly green terrain at higher ones. You pass beautiful waterfalls and swimming holes. On a cloudy day visibility may not allow for good views, but on the way back we were given a chance to see clear skies and enjoy a mesmerisint view over Minas (see picture). Some of the best views ever.

Ponto mais alto de toda a região, o Pico do Selado fica um pouco mais distante de Monte Verde, e é necessária uma caminhada de aproximadamente 2 horas a partir do Platô para se alcançar seu cume, a 2082 metros de altitude. A trilha é um pouco cansativa, com trechos íngremes (razão pela qual não é recomendável levar crianças pequenas). No topo do Selado tem-se uma soberba visão panorâmica de toda a serra, e as nuvens abaixo dão a impressão de que estamos em um avião! Ao final da tarde, se o dia estiver claro, podem-se ver as luzes de sete cidades da região e do Vale do Paraíba.
