Beautiful Brazil - Guide was amazing and very helpful. Would recommend again. Would come Brazil again and again, if it wasn’t for the 12 hours flight

Spectacular sunrise - Can’t miss this spectacular sunrise from atop dois irmaos. All the other trails in and around Tijuca forest are not open until 8am, so this is the only option, and happens to be best option but it’s not too difficult, takes only 40-50 mins to go to top and a great start to your day. The tour was well organized and the guides were well prepared with head lights and gave ample time for taking pics and showed us good spots to take the best pics. Our tour had 12 people and it gets little jammed but still it’s very peaceful and fun. Note, don’t forget to bring a jacket as it’s windy and colder at the top in non Summer season.

Best guide ever! - Rodrigo is the best! Extremely calm, helpful and knowledgeable. You feel a sense of security around him. If you are worried about your ability to complete any of his hikes, he will put you at ease. He shows you exactly what you need to do before you do it. And he will guide you along every step of the way. He knows all the guides around and they all respect his work. He is a just a great guy as well, very kind and funny. Highly recommended! Every time anyone mentions hiking in Rio I immediately think of him. You can’t go wrong

Excellent guides. - Ridrigos guides did an excellent job of guiding us through a chaotic process of getting us to the top of Vidigo favela. They provided us with the needed headlights for the dark and steep trail.

Super view to the sunrise - Super nice view. Very rewarding. One of our highlights in Rio. Unfortunately, we went by bus and not the motos through the favela - only shortcoming

Unforgettable hike - Hiking in a group of about 25 people. Great experience. Everything was well organized at the entrance of the favela where the guides were waiting for us. We rode in a minivan and not in a motorcycle taxi (which was nice for me, because I was not necessarily comfortable). Arriving at the top of the community, we paid a fee of 10 reais, then the hike began. Hiking is not always easy: there are passages over large stones, dirt roads, steep and slippery slopes to climb with a rope (and all this at night). But once you reach the top of Morro Dois Irmãos, the reward is incredible: a magnificent sunrise with a magical view of Rio. There were about 100 people there (which was a bit unpleasant). After about an hour on the spot, we made the way back. The minivan was there, but the guides also left the possibility of descending the favela by motorcycle taxi.

Beautiful view of Rio at dawn - Very nice walk, with kind guide. The multicultural group was great. On the other hand, the climb is rough and is not physically accessible to all, that is to say to stress. The uncertainty of the terrain during the night for the climb is a difficulty that must be taken into account, the number of flashlights donated for the group was insufficient. This is a detail to be corrected to ensure a safe climb. Given the technicality of the terrain in some places, especially in the rain, seeing where you set foot is important 😉 Very nice experience for the rest with a magnificent point of on Rio, the effort and the appointment in the early morning were worth it.
