Overview
On the western zone of Rio de Janeiro an imposing plateau of rock called Pedra da Gávea(The Gávea Stone). It is the largest monolith in South America, as well as the highest coastal monolith in the world and is perfect for an adventurous hike.
According to some local legends the Pedra da Gávea is a visiting place for extra-terrestrials as well as being a portal to other dimensions. The trail begins in Barra da Tijuca and passes through the Atlantic Rain Forest.
Hikers will need to keep their eyes peeled for small mammals and birds which inhabit the tree tops. The trail culminates at the summit of Pedra da Gávea, 844 meters above sea level, with the best views in Rio de Janeiro.
From the top of Pedra da Gávea there are breath taking views of all of Rio’s beaches, lagoons, Sugar Loaf and overlooking Christ the Redeemer in the distance.

Reviews
Both hikes had one difficult part each where ropes were required to climb or descend, but with the help of PAULO it was easy to manage.
He is very experienced and with is calm way helps overcome any kind of fears of heights. Safety first!
I would always want to go with him again!
I'll admit that when we were planning on doing hikes in Rio, we were a bit worried about the safety aspect of it as foreigners, but Rio Natural made us feel very safe and made the experience easy and enjoyable. We were able to book both hikes just a few days out in advance via WhatsApp, were given clear pricing and communication as to expectations, and they were able to give us a guide for just the two of us. That made us feel really comfortable that we were going to be able to move at our own pace and do so with a knowledgeable, local guide.
Fabio, our guide for our first hike to Christ the Redeemer, was fantastic. He was extremely outgoing and had a lot of insight about the local wildlife, culture, and people. We loved our time with him and really enjoyed the half-day hike up to Christ the Redeemer.
Paolo, our guide for Pedra de Gavea, was awesome as well. He was extremely professional, made us feel very safe and was always looking out for us. We had never rock climbed before and he made us feel confident and safe. He was friendly and made sure we got to experience all that we could on Pedra de Gavea.
