Awesome trail and hilltop. Will for sure do it again
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful view of Itaipuacu, Itacoatiara, Itaipu and Camboinhas. The trail starts next to the Tiririca mountain viewpoint. The trail is moderate, steep, made of dirt and leaves, ups and downs, a slight climb at the top and around 1:00/1:30 to climb. Take drinks and food to eat, as there is nothing on the way and take sunscreen as there is no shade there. Up. If you stay until night, take repellent. Wear suitable footwear because climbing is essential. (Original) Vista muito bonita de Itaipuacu, Itacoatiara, itaipu e camboinhas. A trilha começa do lado do mirante da serra da Tiririca. A trilha é moderada, íngrime, de terra e folhas, subidas e descidas, uma leve escalaminhada lá em cima e por volta de 1:00/1:30 para subir. Leve bebidas e comidas para de alimentar, pois não tem nada no caminho e leve protetor solar porque não tem sombra lá em Cima. Se ficar até de noite, leve repelente. Vá com um calçado adequado porque na parte da escalada é essencial.
(Translated by Google) Without a doubt one of the most beautiful views of Rio de Janeiro. The trail is mostly flat, making it more tiring to climb the asphalt to the trail entrance and close to the peak, with overcoming stone obstacles. But all the effort is worth it. (Original) Sem dúvida uma das vistas mais lindas do Rio de Janeiro. A trilha em grande parte é plana, sendo mais cansativo a subida do asfalto até a entrada da trilha e próximo ao pico, com a ultrapassagem dos obstáculos de pedras. Mas todo o esforço vale muito apena.
(Translated by Google) The trail is not easy, moderate level, but to see this view was worth the sacrifice!!! What an incredible place with a beautiful view!! I want to go back again!!! TOP!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Original) A Trilha não é fácil nível moderado, mas para ver esse visual valeu a pena o sacrifício!!! Que lugar incrível e com uma vista linda!! Quero voltar outra vez!!! TOP!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Slide 1 of 8
(Translated by Google) It's an easy trail, so for those who have never hiked before, it would be a good place to start. The trail is basically a dirt climb with leaves, and there are some rocks in some spots, but it's an easy climb. You'll reach the top in 30 minutes. There's not much room to stay there. There's a very high rock that's quite dangerous, but not impossible. It's a good place to watch the sunrise and sunset. Since the trail is short and not very steep, you can do it as a daily cardio workout too. The view from Marica is very beautiful. (Original) É uma trilha leve, para quem nunca fez trilha seria um bom começo. A trilha é basicamente uma subida de terra com folhas, alguns pontos tem pedra, porém fácil subida, em 30 min você chega no topo, lá não tem muito espaço para ficar. Tem a mais mais alta da pedra q é bem perigosa, mas nada impossível. Bom lugar para ver o nascer do sol e o por do sol. Como o trajeto é curto e não muito íngreme, pode fazer como cardio diariamente também. A vista de marica é muito bonita.
(Translated by Google) I found this trail difficult because it is a steep climb from the first minute. Wear pants because the grass up there cuts your legs. And you have to be careful on the rocks. I found it dangerous, with precipices on both sides. I enjoyed it but be careful. Wonderful view of Maricá. (Original) Essa trilha achei pesada porque é subida ingrime desde o primeiro minuto. Ir de calça pois o mato lá em cima corta as pernas. E lá na pedra tem que tomar cuidado. Achei perigoso, precipício dos dois lados. Deu pra curtir mas tomem cuidado. Vista maravilhosa de Maricá.
(Translated by Google) The trail is very easy, it took us about 38 minutes. It is a sheltered trail with a steep incline, but the view is wonderful. At the top you can see Pedra de Inoã, the lagoons, the sea, in short, you have a beautiful view of Maricá. (Original) A trilha é muito tranquila, levamos mais ou menos 38 min. É uma trilha abrigada com um aclive acentuado, mas o visual é Maravilhoso. No cume é possível observar a Pedra de Inoã, as lagoas, o mar, enfim, você tem uma bela vista de Maricá.

(Translated by Google) The Maricá Cultural Center and Historical Museum is a mansion dating back to 1841 that preserves the city's history with exhibitions about its past and local art. Located downtown, it offers free admission and a varied program. In addition to its historical value, it is an active and welcoming cultural space. After a brief closure for renovations in 2025, it reopened with a new exhibition. It is one of Maricá's main cultural attractions. (Original) A Casa de Cultura e Museu Histórico de Maricá é um casarão de 1841 que preserva a memória da cidade com exposições sobre seu passado e arte local. Localizada no centro, tem acesso gratuito e programação variada. Além de valor histórico, é um espaço cultural ativo e acolhedor. Após breve fechamento para reforma em 2025, reabriu com nova exposição. É um dos principais pontos culturais de Maricá.
(Translated by Google) This is the building of the old City Council, and we are talking about a traditional chamber from colonial Brazil (although it dates back to the 19th century): the lower floor was a prison, and the City Council itself was on the upper floor. Visiting is free, and there you can find everything from sambaqui stones to 20th-century tube TVs, as well as 19th-century furniture and even older artifacts, right in the Historic Center of Maricá. (Original) Trata-se do prédio da antiga Câmara, e falamos de uma câmara tradicional do Brasil Colônia (embora ele date do século XIX): o posso inferior era uma prisão, e a Câmara propriamente ficava no piso de cima. A visitação é gratuita, e por lá você encontra de pedras de sambaquis a TVs de tubo do século XX, passando por mobiliário do século XIX e artefatos ainda mais antigos, bem no Centro Histórico de Maricá.
(Translated by Google) We visited the Casa de Cultura e Museu this week and really enjoyed the place, the service, the guides, and the information provided. There is a permanent exhibition with items from the history of Maricá and its culture. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are also traveling exhibitions, but this week they were still being set up and therefore not available for visitors. One point that could be improved is accessibility for people with mobility difficulties, since the exhibition is divided between the ground floor and the upper floor. There is an elevator, but it has been under maintenance for over a year, according to museum employees. (Original) Estivemos na Casa de cultura e museu nessa semana e gostamos bastante do local, do atendimento, do guiamento, as informações passadas. Há uma exposição permanente com itens da história de Maricá e sua cultura. Além da exposição permanente, há também exposições itinerantes, mas nessa semana ainda estava sendo montada, e por isso não disponível para visitação. Um ponto de melhoria é acessibilidade para pessoas com dificuldade de locomoção, tendo em vista que a exposição divide-se entre o térreo e o sobrado. Há um elevador, mas o mesmo está em manutenção há mais de um ano, segundo dito por funcionários do museu.
(Translated by Google) Another tourist and historical spot in the city of Maricá, very well maintained and preserved. I didn't take a guided tour to see the house's collection, but everything was very well organized, clean and well maintained. Maricá is a country. (Original) Outro ponto turístico e histórico da cidade de Maricá muito bem cuidado e preservado, não fiz visitação guiada para conhecer o acervo da casa, mas estava tudo muito bem-organizado e limpo e cuidado. Maricá é um país.
(Translated by Google) Place, not very cozy, I don't see anyone visiting or commenting about it. Just for the record. (Original) Lugar,Nada aconchegante não vejo ninguém em visita ou comentário a respeito.SO para constar.
(Translated by Google) It is under construction but it seems to me that it will make an excellent area for public visits. (Original) Está em obras mais me parece que vai dar uma excelente área para visitas públicas.

(Translated by Google) It would be one of the most beautiful trails, but it is very poorly attended! There is trash everywhere and so much graffiti, and since it is a private area, there is no control by environmental agencies. (Original) Seria uma das mais belas trilhas, porém é muito mal frequentada! Tem lixo por todos os lados e tantas pichações, por ser uma área privada, não tem nenhum controle de órgãos ambientais.
(Translated by Google) Located in the Spar neighborhood of Inoa, the caves are a destination for adventurers and rappellers. The trail starts next to a chapel just as you enter the Spar neighborhood. It offers a beautiful view at the end, but halfway through the trail is a dark cave, so you'll need a flashlight. There are some bats, but it's very peaceful. We brought our own snacks and drinks, and at the top we stopped for a picnic. It's definitely worth it. (Original) Localizado no bairro Spar em Inoa, as grutas são destinos de aventureiros e praticantes do rapel ,o início da trilha se dá ao lado de uma capela logo na chegada do bairro Spar. Possui uma vista lindíssima ao final dela, mas no meio do percurso é uma caverna escura que é necessário levar lanterna, possui alguns morcegos ,mas é bem tranquilo, levamos nosso lanche e bebidas, e lá em cima paramos para um picnic. Mas vale muito a pena fazer.
(Translated by Google) Medium level trail. There are not many signs since the property is private. But if you watch the videos on YouTube, you can easily get there. After the ordeal, the views are worth it. I recommend taking a flashlight to go through the cave, which is very dark. The place is very beautiful. (Original) Trilha nível Médio. Não tem muita sinalização já que a propriedade é privada. Mas olhando os vídeos no YouTube da pra chegar de boa. Depois do sufoco o que se vê, compensa. Aconselho levar uma lanterna para passar na gruta que é bem escura. Muito bonito o lugar.
(Translated by Google) The place is very beautiful, it could have more signage and entrance control, take a flashlight... (Original) Muito lindo o lugar, poderia ter mais sinalização, e controle de entrada , levem lanterna....
(Translated by Google) Quiet trail. Incredible views. Highly recommended! (Original) Trilha tranquila. Visual incrível. Recomendo demais!
(Translated by Google) For those who like to be impressed, caves can provide you with excitement. Large, cold and humid, these caves are a remarkable place. Unfortunately, due to the intervention of the quarry, it is no longer possible to access them. Fortunately, I have good memories. (Original) para quem gosta de se impressionar, as grutas podem te proporcionar emoção. grandes, frias e úmidas, essas cavernas são um lugar destacável. infelizmente, por intervenção da pedreira, não é possível acessá-la mais. felizmente, tenho boas lembranças.
(Translated by Google) You will see signs informing you that access is prohibited. But no one will make you turn back, although there is still an active gravel mine in the area. You can go without fear of the signs. When you leave the first trail, see a sign and go down the mining road, be careful because there is an unmarked trail on your left. If you miss it, there is no problem, because there is a second trail from the top of the mountain (you just have to walk further). From the first trail, you can reach the Spar complex through a dark and damp tunnel (only about 50 meters long). But there is an alternative passage, without the need to take the unusual path. The place is not exactly a cave, but an "abandoned" feldspar and malacacheta mining area, as these minerals are no longer in use. Therefore, the galleries, tunnels and lakes are not natural, although this does not take away from the beauty and eccentricity of the place. You can enter the clear lakes, but it is very dark. You can try playing on the vines at the entrance to the galleries if you feel confident. The place offers beautiful photos due to the light and shadow environment and the backlit positions. (Original) Você verá placas informando que o acesso é proibido. Mas ninguém te faz voltar, embora ainda haja uma mineração de brita ativa no local. Pode ir, sem receio dos dizeres. Ao sair da primeira trilha, ver uma placa e cair na estrada da mineração, fique atento pois há uma trilha sem indicação à sua esquerda. Se perdê-la, não há problemas, pois do alto da montanha há uma segunda trilha (só se anda mais). Da primeira trilha, é possível alcançar o complexo do Spar por um túnel escuro e úmido (de uns 50 metros somente). Mas há uma passagem alternativa, sem necessidade de percorrer o inusitado caminho. O lugar não é exatamente uma gruta, mas um espaço de mineração de feldspato e malacacheta "abandonado", pois tais mineirais estão em desuso. Portanto, as galerias, túneis e lagos não são naturais, embora isso não tire a beleza e excentricidade do lugar. Dá pra entrar nos límpidos lagos, mas é bem escuro. Dá pra arriscar brincar em cipós na entrada das galerias se sentir-se confiante. O lugar dá belas fotos em razão do ambiente luz e sombra e nas posições a contraluz.
