Thomas is truly a joy to... - Thomas is truly a joy to be around! He is so knowledgable and encouraging. Other than the climbing itself, he also pointed out fun facts about the plants and history of the sugarloaf mountain. He genuinely loves the mountain and wants to share his joy with you! If you are looking to hike up to the Sugarloaf mountain, look no further! Thomas is your guide.

EcotuRio - Unique, without equal. The best!!! - EcotuRio provided me with the best hiking and climbing experiences in Rio de Janeiro. Thomas Arias is amazing! The tranquility, patience and what he passes through is unparalleled. Super kind and attentive on walks and gets to know the city's forests and mountains with his eyes closed. Thomas works in the profession he loves! Without a doubt, the best guide and the best nature tourism company in RJ. EcotuRio is unique, without comparison!

First time climbing - Phenomenal experience - Definitely one of the greatest adventures I've ever done💗 I'd never climbed, and after 3 months with a foot injury, I decided to do the climb like this, all of a sudden! And hmmm... what an incredible experience, the kind of thing you have to do at least once in your life ❤ and what about the guide, huh? What a figure, wonderful guide, highly recommended, high spirits, fun, patient, lively, and experienced! My friends and I were climbing for the first time in our lives and Thomas (guide) was the fundamental support, he's really good guys, and we reached the top of Morro Pão de Açúcar very happy to have managed to climb❤❤ I recommend the tour and Guide Thomas, excellent!!!!

Five Stars for Thomas! - We had a fantastic morning hiking and climbing with Thomas. He was very communicative prior to our meet up. We experienced our first outdoor climb together and it was awesome. If you are an experienced climber, be sure to let Thomas know as he can accommodate you with a more challenging route. He was incredibly educational, teaching us about climbing, our surroundings as we hiked, and took some great photos. We loved his energy and learning a ton. Best way to experience Sugarloaf! 10/10
