Pedra do Baú - São Bento do Sapucaí - SP - Brasil

Pedra do Baú, located in the neighboring municipality of São Bento do Sapucaí, is one of the points sought by adventurers who seek to explore and contemplate the beauties of the Serra da Mantiqueira. The rocky formation that has a ridge of 1850 meters of altitude, with a dimension of 350 meters of height and 540 meters in length and abyss of 200m, is nowadays a place for paragliding, hang gliding, climbing, as well as hiking and mountain- bike

 

The first to cross the Pedra do Baú were brothers João and Antônio Teixeira de Souza, in the year 1940, after years of attempts. Later, Luiz Dummont Villares, a wealthy entrepreneur, also decided to open it with the Teixeira de Souza brothers, where he devised and built one of the first mountain shelters in Brazil, inaugurated on January 12, 1947.
