Dedo de Deus, also known as God's Finger Peak, is a 1,692-meter (5,551-foot) granite peak located in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is one of the most popular hiking and climbing destinations in the park, and its distinctive finger-shaped formation is visible from much of the surrounding area. The peak is named after its resemblance to a giant hand with an extended index finger pointing towards the sky.

The climb to the top of Dedo de Deus is challenging but rewarding, and the views from the summit are spectacular. On a clear day, it is possible to see all the way to Rio de Janeiro, which is about 50 kilometers (31 miles) away. The best time to climb Dedo de Deus is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.

* It is the most famous formation in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park.
