Additional Information

One of the most stunning trails in Rio de Janeiro, the Costão do Pão de Açúcar, is the kind of trail that wows everyone. To make the most of it, you’ll need a registered and experienced guide who knows the mountains and nature inside out.

» We’ll take the trail at a relaxed pace, respecting everyone’s individual timing.
» We’ll stop a few times for breaks and hydration.
» First, we’ll do a circular trail, climbing up one side and then taking the Bondinho cable car down (ticket included!). After this fun ride, we’ll hit an easier, lighter trail that takes about 25 minutes to descend. We’ll end up back at our starting point at Praia Vermelha.
» Before we start, there will be a quick recap of what we’ve already covered in messages.
» The trail takes around 4 hours and 30 minutes, so be sure to bring your water and snacks.
» The plan might change depending on the day and the weather, but we’ll try to explore every spot as much as possible.

Location
Red Beach
» The meeting point will be right at the Chopin statue on the sidewalk in the middle of the beach.

Best tour in Rio - Marcelo picked me up at my hotel on time, a little after 3am. We were the 2nd group to arrive at the stone and experience a beautiful sunrise. No lines...

Amazing guide- highly recommend - I went on this hike on my birthday while visiting Rio, not only was Michel a very informative guide, but kept encouraging me to keep going and taught me breathing techniques to get through (I do not hike regularly). He was consistently positive and always kept checking in to make sure I was doing alright. When reaching the top, he suggested extremely creative poses, which is super fun at this site! I would absolutely want to book Michel for future visits to Rio and highly recommend to others. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and have a great experience.

Hiking - I had the best experience hiking with Michel! We did Pedro Telegrafo and Pedra da gavea both in the same day, and Michel made both the hikes fun and exciting! You always feel comfortable and you want to challenge yourself. I would recommend Michel to anyone who’s up for a hike in Rio, he is definitely the best guide!!👏🏽

Waiting time for Pic😭😭😭 - It’s a tough hike. Unless ur fit. But a nice one through the jungle. No water along, except one stop and none at the top. Average wait for pic is 1.5-2 hours.

Unfortunate that our tour was canceled - We chose the 3:00 a.m. hike with Michel and we're ready to go on time. It's unfortunate that he contacted us and said that his car was stolen, so we were not able to do the hike that we had planned so many months for. It was also too late to book any other hikes at that same time for telegraph though because of the last minute cancellation. It was also our last day in Rio so we were very sad that we were not able to do this beautiful hike that we had planned for.
