I stood at the summit of Pico Paraná, the highest peak in southern Brazil, and gazed out at the breathtaking panorama below. The sun was shining brightly, but the air was crisp and cold. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the descent.

 

The trail down was steep and treacherous, with loose rocks and exposed cliffs. I carefully picked my way down, using my hands and feet to maintain my balance. The climb had been exhausting, but the descent was even more challenging.

 

After what seemed like an eternity, I reached the base of the mountain. I was exhausted and covered in sweat, but I had made it. I looked back up at the peak, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

 

I had always dreamed of climbing Pico Paraná, and now I had done it. It was an experience that I would never forget.

At 2,798 meters (9,180 feet), Pedra da Mina reigns as Brazil’s fourth-highest peak and the Mantiqueira Mountains’ tallest summit, straddling the Minas Gerais–São Paulo border.

 

Standing atop São Paulo’s highest point—a crown jewel of Brazilian peaks—I marveled at the achievement. Seemed perfect—until Mother Nature laughed and unleashed her plans.

  

The Sunset That Wasn’t

  

I had dreams of a breathtaking sunset at the highest point in São Paulo. Spoiler alert: it didn’t happen. Instead, the sky decided to open up right at dinner time, drenching us and forcing an early bedtime. Each of us retreated to our own tents, where we were greeted by a thick fog that rolled in like an uninvited guest. The wind howled like it was auditioning for a horror movie, and the cold? Let’s just say I’ve been warmer in a freezer. I spent half the night convinced the wind was going to pick up my tent and drop me off in another state.

  

The Morning After

  

The Sunrise That Wasn't

  

We woke up early, because apparently, the mountain wasn’t done with us yet. Breakfast was a quick affair—no leisurely coffee sipping here. By 8:00 AM, we made the executive decision to start our descent before the rain decided to upgrade from “annoying” to “torrential.”

 

The hike down was a wet, slippery adventure, but hey, at least it kept things interesting. We finally made it back to the parking lot at 5:00 PM, soaked to the bone but victorious. Our main concern? Surviving the rain. Mission accomplished.

Final Thoughts:

  

Pedra da Mina, you’re a beauty, but you’ve got a wicked sense of humor. No sunset and sunrise, relentless rain, and winds that could knock over a small car—yet somehow, I still can’t wait to come back. Maybe next time, you’ll cut me some slack.

 

Until then, I’ll be drying off and nursing my bruised ego.

A pair of cardinals has used our back porch baker's rack two years in a row to make a nest and give us a closeup look for the 3 weeks between nest making, laying eggs, feeding the young and then having them leave to the nearby woods.
