Parque Estadual Pico do Marumbi


Besides the quaint colonial center, the biggest attraction in Morretes is the Parque Estadual Pico do Marumbi, a paradise for rock climbers and nature lovers. It contains a network of old pioneer trails that were the only connections between the coast and the highland in the 17th and 18th centuries. Calango Expedições is the go-to adventure agency for action in the park.
