Great experience - Had a great time on this hike… it was a little challenge climbing but definitely doable. Guide was very patient. Had a great group. Small so attention was given to everyone.

Absolute highlight of our trip to Rio! - What a wonderful morning we spent with Marcio! He was the best guide and we left feeling like he was a friend! We started nice and early to beat the crowds and after a little bit of a steep climb we arrived at the famous Pedra do Telegrafo with only one other family there! Marcio was with us every step of the way, filling us in on interesting stories, jokes and showing us some amazinf sights. He's also an excellent photographer and we got some priceless shots! I really wanted to see a troop of marmosets while hiking but as we were leaving the jungle we still hadnt seen them. Maricio said he knew they'd be about somehwhere and suddenly we saw them! I was so, so pleased! Honestly, if you're umming and arring about whether to book - just do it! It was me and my husband (35yo) and my mother (65yo) and we handled the walk well! On the way home we got to stop off at a gorgous local beach and enjoy a swim and a fresh juice. Simply an amazing morning, thank you so much Marcio!

Incredible experiences with HikeinRio. They're the best! - This year has been the second time we've used Hikeinrio. The first time was in 2019. Unfortunately, we couldn't meet Ale back in 2019 because she got very sick. But She arranged everything for me and my fiance with Marcio who was amazing and we had a incredible experience. This year, we finally meet Ale. She is FANTASTIC! Everything about her is wonderful. Her professionalism, the positive vibes, flexibility, safety, the knowledge of the trails and history are outstanding. My fiancé and I had two amazing days hiking with Ale and everything went perfect. We went to Pedra do Telegrafo, Floresta da Tijuca e Rampa de Asa Delta. We loved the experiences. She is caring and passionate about what she does. I highly recommend HikeinRio. Ale, thank you for everything. We will see you next year! Tania and Rob.

Hike of a lifetime - This was such an amazing experience!! It was about a mile walk up and a mile back down . It is a challenge but definitely worth it !! Our guide was soooo nice ! Please keep in mind it is a hike before the hike and you have the option to get a bike ride to the entrance for 15 Brazilian reels. I’m so glad I did because I probably wouldn’t have made it to the top nor the beginning of the hike . I’m so glad I did it! Such a beautiful sight

Must see in Brazil! - My husband and I were absolutely amazed at how amazingly beautifully this country is!! We went and saw the redeemer and the stairs! It was insanely busy but that didn’t take away from the beauty!

A must-do experience on your trip to Rio! - This was such a fun and unique experience! My wife and I love to hike and this was a great hike. It was steep early on but then not too difficult and the breathtaking views overlooking the water and mountains were definitely worth it. Plus we had to get the iconic photos! We went on a Monday morning and were the only people when we got there, so we are very glad we started at 5/6 am. Our guide helped us do such fun poses and the photographer there also had such great tips like tucking in a shirt or letting hair loose to make the photo look more epic. After the hike we also stopped at a few beach spots which were nice to see. Overall highly recommend!

Pedra do Telegrafo - Alli is a fantastic guide. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. My friend and I did two excursions with her: a hike through Tijuca, and Pedra do Telegrafo. I have a great fear of heights, but with her gentle prompting at the end of our hike through Tijuca, I agreed to try Pedra do Telegrafo with her and my friend. I would not have been able to do it without her help throughout. I am so grateful that I did. She was able to tell us about interesting things about the area and Rio in general. An excursion (or more!) with Alli is a must when visiting Rio!

Alli is a fantastic guide! - Definitely would recommend going with Alli to anyone and going early (we left Copacabana around 5:30am for an hour drive and had the place to ourselves for a good peaceful and serene and no-rush photos for 30 minutes before the crowds came). Pretty chill hike up, and Alli is also an excellent photographer!
