Overview

Discover the Costao trail, the original route to the summit of the Sugarloaf Mountain! This steep trail is one of the most incredible hikes in the city and few visitors know about it - most assume that the only way to the top is by cable car. Although the trail features a vertical pitch of rock climbing, it does not require prior climbing experience. With the help of safety gear and our certified climbing guides, you can conquer this challenge and continue to the top of Rio’s famous Sugarloaf Mountain. This is a classic Carioca experience not to be missed!

A remarkable and fascinating adventure. Not as easy as thought, but the guide Didi made me feel reassured it is possible and all goes well. He is capable and friendly. The view of Rio from here is amazing and well worth seen.
Amazing experience!

This was one of my favourite days in Rio! The views on the way up keep getting better and better! Lucas was an excellent guide who was incredibly helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife as well as the history or Rio - I learnt so much whilst climbing!
Great guide and hike!

Had a wonderful time hiking up Sugarloaf Mountain. It was an exciting challenge and I felt super safe with our guide who ensured we went the right way and pointed out tips for the rock climbing parts. The views were unbelievable!
