On Alert About Trail Safety, IAT Emphasizes That “Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná” Require Planning, Hydration, and Proper Equipment Usage to Avoid Frequent Rescues Between October and May
The Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná are a setting of lush nature, but also a stage for underestimated risks by many who visit the park unprepared.
This attractive environment fascinates tourists and adventurers; however, recent data from research makes it clear that it is urgent to reinforce safety measures.
The risk of accidents and the need for rescues significantly increase outside the ideal period, with situations ranging from dehydration to falls.

In this article, we will guide you to know the dangers of the Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná, prepare adequately, and follow protocols that reduce occurrences in the most sought-after sections of this beautiful place.
Essential Equipment and Checklist for Safe Hiking in the Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná
Before heading out to the trails, it is essential to have a minimum list of items. Proper footwear, gaiters, and flashlights with spare batteries are mandatory, according to the Mountain Rescue Center (Cosmo).
It is also required that the visitor is registered with an exact destination; any route deviation without notice constitutes a serious infraction.
Another vital point is to respect the cutoff time: entry to the trail must occur by 9 AM. These precautions aim to reduce planning failures, which are linked to over 60% of rescue services in Marumbi.
Occurrences and Rescue Profile: Analysis of Statistical Data
Records from the IAT (Institute of Water and Land) and Cosmo show that 75% of occurrences in the Conservation Unit occur between October and May, a period with heavy rains, high temperatures, and fewer hydration points, according to a report published.
Of these cases, 58% result from delays, fatigue, and dehydration, 39% involve falls, fractures, or illnesses, and 3% are situations of panic or vertigo.
The research, based on 41,631 visitors between 2002 and 2018, also indicates that 56% of visitors to the Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná are first-timers.
In the most affected trails, Rochedinho (22%), Olimpo (21%), and Abrolhos (20%), the combination of public volume and physical demand explains the higher incidence of occurrences.
Risks Outside the Season: Heat, Dehydration, and Demanding Terrain
Outside the so-called “mountain season,” the profile of the public is more diverse and less prepared, warns the Cosmo Communication Coordinator, Caius Marcellus Ferreira.
The intense heat and scarcity of water points in the Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná increase the risks of exhaustion. In more severe cases, rescue may require aerial evacuation by BPMOA or ground transport: each hour of ascent may require up to 10 hours of descent with a stretcher.
Additionally, when dealing with unfamiliar terrain, hasty decisions lead to more severe accidents. Therefore, physical preparation, continuous hydration, and serious planning are emphasized as fundamental factors.
Rescue Protocol and Role of Involved Institutions
When someone needs to be rescued, Cosmo mobilizes an auxiliary “rabbit” equipped with a rescue backpack.
The basic action includes stabilization, hydration, and the start of assisted descent. In extreme cases, aerial evacuation with BPMOA is activated, if an aircraft and favorable weather conditions are available.
The Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná are located within the Pico do Marumbi State Park, which has 8,700 hectares of area.
If aerial removal is not feasible and the victim cannot move, assistance continues by land until human transport stretchers.
The head of Pico do Marumbi Park, Gabriel Camargo Macedo, reminds that those visiting the unit must respect registration, identification, and signing a risk waiver. These procedures are structured mechanisms to ensure control and safety.
Regardless of the season, constant hydration and nutrition are essential for anyone facing any trail in the beautiful Mountains of Marumbi in Paraná.
