Highlights
  • Sugarloaf Mountain - We will start our incredible day with the climbing baptism on Morro da Babilônia, where the sport will be introduced, the guide will explain how the dynamics of rock climbing work, and then you will be ready to climb around 40 meters! This dynamic is excellent for overcoming fears and getting to know each other better, as it is highly secure with all safety equipment and a certified certified guide and providing security at all times, as well as no previous experience is necessary. Climbing is a highly empowering sport that serves as a tool for all fields of our lives.

After the baptism, we will hike to the summit of the iconic mountain of Pão de Açúcar, in Rio de Janeiro. Most of the hike is up the steep east face of the mountain. On the way, there is a 15-meter rope climbing stretch, ideal for beginners in the sport.

On the summit we will enjoy famous destinations such as Cristo Redentor, Copacabana Beach, Tijuca Forest and its mountains, the city of Niterói, and much more.
