Amazing trip to the top
Tobias K, 17-12-2022
We had an amazing time with the guide Fabio telling us about the local fauna, history, about climping and much more. We were guided safely to the top and through the climping passages - I can warmly recommend the trip for anyone!
Intense but excellent hike to the most astonishing view of Rio
lissygross, 16-12-2022
We went with Thiago and had a great experience! We were really lucky with the weather that day (no too hot and perfect visibility) and enjoyed every part of the hike. We even saw a lot of monkeys! It is intense, specially the part of mountain climbing, but Thiago was always paying attention to us and teaching us where and how to walk and climb. We felt really safe under his supervision and I would like to remark how good the speaks English and Spanish. The view is amazing and astonishing, and Thiago knew some great spots for photos and took incredible pictures of us! I really recommend this hike if you want to experience some adventure in Rio. You don't have to be a professional athlete or have previous mountaineering experience, but keep in mind that the walk is constantly up, so a good physical shape will make it more affordable and it will be easier for you if you at least perform some regular physical activity of medium to high intensity. Really loved the experience!!!
Challenging and scary hike
brian_m, 13-12-2022
Both challenging and scary at times, my favourite combination! Not for the faint hearted but a great day hiking in an urban jungle. Eduardo was a fantastic guide, friendly, patient and helpful. He knew all the great photo spots and assisted with taking pictures along the route. Would do this again
Urban jungle adventure
BrianM4954, 12-12-2022
Both challenging and scary, my favourite combination. What’s not to love about an urban jungle and a few Spider-Man skills to get you up that hill. Awesome views in every direction. A highlight of the trip
