Shell mounds were the earliest evidence of habitation; they represent piles of human refuse (waste) and are mainly dated between 7500BC and 4000BC. They are associated with ceramic age cultures; no preceramic shell mounds have been documented so far by archaeologists.

The trip is done partly in a 4 x 4 vehicle and partly on foot. There are two ways of entering the park and we opt for the less well-known route as the better views can be found on this road. Our first stop is at a lookout known as the Vista Chinese due to the oriental-styled pagoda-like gazebo. From here we get spectacular panoramic views of the south of Rio de Janeiro before rejoining the more well-trodden path and arrive at the second entrance to the park. Balliett, James Fargo (2014).
