Brazil is not as well known as far as destinations go....

If you have any pics or stories, anything Brazil related...let's see/hear 'em! A few from various places from around Rio from the web...

RIO DE JANEIRO:





PARQUE NACIONAL DA SERRA DOS ÓRGÃOS:





So good...it has it's own beauty queen! "Miss Serra dos Órgãos" 2011 and the Dedo de Deus (Finger of God)

I haven't climbed Brazilian granite(yet), but I've sure stuck a bunch of it in various kitchens around the area.
Amazing stones. Full spectrum. Seriously. Love your choice of pics.

Went to a week long climbing festival in Rio last April celebrating 100 years of technical climbing in Brazil. Wonderful time, great hosts, beautiful city and fun climbing.

you mean you had some up until now?

i thought the movie was great fun, but it fell apart at the end. i think bill pullman insisted on having the script rewritten so he would get the girl.

dingus, did you go to rio for the inexpensive plastic surgery?

Curious if anyone has made it to the Tres Picos National Park. Looks like a couple hrs north of Rio & some amazing multi-pitch (10ish?) granite domes.
