About Pico Agudo
Pico Agudo stands out among the elevations of Santo Antônio do Pinhal. Its observation area brings visitors close to the Mantiqueira slopes and valleys. The presence of forest, fields and changes in relief is the central theme of the visit.
The summit is also associated with free-flight activities, which are organized separately from staying at the viewpoint. Do not assume an aerial activity is automatically included in the ascent. To observe the landscape, use the areas intended for the public and respect the zones used by pilots.
Clouds, mist and wind are part of mountain conditions and affect visibility. The interest of the outing does not depend on witnessing a flight or a sunset. Check the condition of the municipal road before leaving town and use the authorized route to arrive and return.
