Pico do Corcovado (Ubatuba)
Pico do Corcovado
A peak of about 1,150 metres in the Serra do Mar. You can climb it in a day for views over Ubatuba's bay and islands. It is the region's most demanding rainforest hike.
Corcovado Peak lies within Serra do Mar State Park, southwest of Ubatuba's city centre. At about 1,150 metres, it is the highest peak in Ubatuba that can be climbed. The trail starts from the park registration point in Bairro do Corcovado and climbs steadily through dense Atlantic Forest. The round trip is about 12 km and takes 7 to 9 hours, so it is quite strenuous. On clear days, the summit overlooks the whole Ubatuba coastline, Ilha da Anchieta and, in the distance, Ilhabela. Clouds often blanket the summit in the early morning. Park rules require climbers to go with a certified guide, and reservations must be made in advance. Note: in the rainy season the trail is muddy and slippery. Bring plenty of water and a headlamp.
