The proximity to the capital and to be located in the heart of a region with great touristic potential, local culture and traditional mountaineering area in the mountains range, make this region one of the best in Rio for Ecotourism and adventures!
The Towers are located in the district called Bonsucesso, which is between the cities of Teresópolis and Friburgo. Majestic mountains, remind the rock formations of the impressive region of Patagonia. Bonsucesso Towers form a huge vertical rock wall with more than 500 meters long.
