Highlights
-
Trail to Pedra da Gávea - During this activity we are gonna hike about 5km uphill to reach the Top of Pedra da Gavea, about 980 meter high. The time require for this adventure is around six to eight hours, so no forget to bring with you 2ltrs of water per person.
Around 70% of the hike we would found the biggest challenge of Pedra da Gavea: “carrasqueira”, wich is a climbing section of 30 meters where we are gonna use all the security equipment to make the climb safe and easy.
Most of the hike in gonna be on the shade of the trees, but at the top we have no protection, so is good to have sunscreen and something to protect your heads.
For this activity you need to be on shape and prepare for the adventure!

Dia incrível na Gavea💚 - We had a fantastic day on the rocks with a truly incredible guide!
Thomas is very customer-focussed, e.g., he was offering to reschedule for free when I was feeling very sick on the first date we booked the tour. Clearly he couldn’t guide others on that day!
Moreover, Thomas knows all the paths and location tricks, used the necessary gear in a highly professional way and instructed my friend who never climbed with a rope before with lots of patience and made it a success for her!
In addition, he has a rich knowledge of local specialties and provides really interesting and lasting insights about Brazil‘s nature. He is fluent in many language and in particular I was able to follow conversations because he translated from Portuguese to English. He also knows all the corner that are made for breathtaking photos!
This day was just fantastic, we will definitely return many more times!
Thank you Ecoturio and thank you Thomas! :-)
