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!

Exceeding Expectations - Stopping by to record our gratitude to the EcotuRio agency, which through the guide Thomas Arias, who provided our guidance, safely provided us with the best Experience of Life, during the climb to Pedra da Gávea via the most challenging route, the P4 and the descent through the dreaded Carrasqueira.
Thomas was incredible in driving us, always attentive to our needs and our emotional and physical well-being.
He demonstrated mastery, knowledge and a lot of technique throughout the course.
The equipment used on the climbs was certified and in excellent condition.
He took our best photos, super charismatic, with an easy smile, great people, an incredible professional.
Definitely our best choice!

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! :-)
