点评:This is one of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever been. A lot of that might have to do with where I was in my life when I went here, but I think it really was a spectacular spot.
The hike was not bad. It took me 30 minutes from trailhead to the peak. I was rushing it to make sure I beat the sunset. One other person was up there already. So it was very peaceful. There are sort of two peaks, one of which has a little bench and very neat sign showing the distance and direction to places like Hawaii and Machu Picchu. But having that other peak gives space so if there are other people they can be spread out more for reflection of photos, etc. the view from both is awesome and basically the same.
You can see the sunset/rise from both peak, but the main one has that better view of Alter do Chao. The rest of the view is water and or relatively flat, and the forest just goes on forever.
I left a little before the sun was really down because the smoke started obscuring the sunset anyway and there was nothing more to see. It was dark by the time I passed the trailhead again. I describe that just to give a sense of how long things take.
This is a must do in any trip to alter do Chao. The hike isn’t for someone with severe enough mobility issues, as it does get rocky and a little steep, but it isn’t difficult. Much of the hike is before the ascent, and is just a flat trail through though the forest.

徒步旅行还不错。我从步道起点到山顶花了 30 分钟。我急着赶路,以确保赶在日落之前到达。另一个人已经上山了。所以非常平静。这里有两座山峰,其中一座山峰上有一个小长凳和非常整洁的标志,显示到夏威夷和马丘比丘等地的距离和方向。但是另一座山峰提供了空间,所以如果有其他人,他们可以分散开来,以反射照片等。两座山峰的景色都很棒,而且基本相同。
您可以从两座山峰上看到日落/日出,但主峰可以更好地欣赏 Alter do Chao。其余的景色是水或相对平坦的,森林无穷无尽。
我在太阳真正落山前不久就离开了,因为烟雾开始遮挡日落,而且再也看不到什么了。当我再次经过小道入口时,天已经黑了。我描述这一切只是为了让你了解事情需要多长时间。
这是任何去 Alter Do Chao 的旅行中必须做的事情。徒步旅行不适合行动不便的人,因为它确实有点多石和陡峭,但并不难。大部分徒步旅行都在攀登之前,只是一条穿过森林的平坦小路。
