The Donkey's Back, Climbing to the Summit of the Peak of Escalavrado at 1,160 meters (3,805 ft) MSL, Serra dos Órgãos ('Organs Range') National Park, Guapimirim and Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

            Serra dos Órgãos National Park:

It is one of the best places in the country to practice mountain sports, such as climbing, hiking, abseiling and others; besides having fantastic waterfalls. The Park has the largest network of trails in Brazil. There are more than 200 km / 124 miles of trails at all levels of difficulty: from the suspended trail, accessible to wheelchair users, to the heavy Petrópolis-Teresópolis Crossing, with 30 km / 19 miles of ascents and descents through the high part of the mountains.

Among the climbs, the God's Finger, considered the starting point of climbing in the country, and the Devil's Needle, chosen as one of the 15 best rock climbs in the world, stand out.

It was created in 1939 to protect the exceptional landscape and biodiversity of this stretch of the Mountain Range of the Sea in the Serrana Region of Rio de Janeiro. There are 20,024 hectares protected in the municipalities of Teresópolis, Petrópolis, Magé and Guapimirim.

The Park is home to more than 2,800 species of plants cataloged by science, 462 species of birds, 105 of mammals, 103 of amphibians and 83 of reptiles, including 130 endangered animals and many endemic species (which only occur in this location).
