An unexpected hike but amazing! - Impressive experience! It was a very challenging trail. From the beginning, the guide Eduardo was focused on every detail in order to ensure a great hike. He was kind and helped us along the way up. He also took some photos. The view is impressive!

Beautiful day trip in Rio - Phantastic day trip for those who like a bit of rock climbing. Stunning views from the top. The guide Eduardo was a really nice person who gave us lots of information. And he is a highly skilled photographer! I definitely recommend visiting Pedra de Gavea

Best spot in Rio - 6 hour trail. First time hiking in a group, 90 % hiking under shade getting attacked by mosquitos or plants. Last 10% you get the best views I was lucky it was a clear day you got to see everything in rio Sugar loaf, copacabana beach. Favelas abd christ the redeemor. Guides were very patient ensured no one left behind. I recommend bringing cash in case you need emergency drinks/ icecream from the vendors at the absailing section.

Really was a “BEST” Experience - I really like this hike. At the top, you can take great photos. Bring at least 2 L of water maybe 3. This is not a hike for somebody who is out of shape or fragile. There are multiple points in the cycle, where you have to climb and maintain three point points of contact. There is a point in this hike when you need to use a rope and a harness to get up and down. This hike is a full body workout. At the end, I could feel every muscle beneath my waist. You need to be very careful at the top if you’re going to take photos by the edge. There is no safety briefing. This is your safety briefing. Make sure you eat breakfast before you hike and bring a snack to eat at the top. It said that this hike takes six hours, but maybe it’s because we spent so much time at the top that it was 8 hours until I finished the hike. Don’t forget to tip your tour guide. They do great work for this hike!

A Well-Guided Adventure at the Pedra da Gavea - The hike was in a beautiful area. Along the way, we saw some monkeys, and a few people even had the opportunity to see toucans. The hike was somewhat challenging, particularly in the Carrasquería section, where we actually had to do some rock climbing and rappelling on the way down. However, our guide Eduardo took great care of us. He made sure everyone felt comfortable during those more demanding sections. He had all the necessary equipment for the climbing and rappelling, and he also took pictures of everyone along the way. The view at the top was incredible and truly rewarding.
