Additional Information

Our goal is to summit the tallest peak in Vidigal, known as the elder of the two brothers. Our trek begins on foot, navigating the intricate pathways of the Vidigal favela, which presents an intense cultural exposure. Favelas, akin to ghettos or slums, provide unique experiences where we will get insights into the daily lives of locals, explore bars, parks, and sample authentic Brazilian street food. This gives a glimpse of an unexplored Brazil hidden from most tourists. On reaching the trailhead, expect 50 minutes of hiking amidst nature, with several vantage points offering splendid views of the city, sea, beaches, and forests, along with a unique cabin with a view of Rocinha (the largest favela in Latin America). The pinnacle offers a breathtaking, film-worthy vista. The return journey is a thrilling motorcycle ride speeding through the narrow alleys. Be aware that photography and videography are prohibited in Vidigal, hence its absence here. As such, this tour holds a shroud of mystery. To discover Vidigal, please get in touch with us to schedule this tour.

😍😍😍 - I am thrilled with the guide and the tour. Everything was very intense, we looked at life in the favelas, climbed the mountain, and took great photos, the guide was always supportive when it was difficult for me, so he is also a philosopher and psychologist in one person! After we tried street food, in general I was definitely satisfied! Recommended!

Fun and Beautiful Hike Up 2 Irmaos - A beautiful and accessible hike in Rio. Rafael is super knowledgable about the area and will even bring you down paths less trodden if you're up for it.

Very nice tour! - It was a really nice tour! Rafael was a great guide. Everything was super safe and Rafael explained a lot to our group, especially about life in favelas and explained very well about prevailing stereotypes. The climb was a little strenuous but it was a lot of fun and at the end we had a great view as our group rounded off the tour in the restaurant 😊

Unforgettable experience - Went on this awesome hike with Rafael a while back. He knew all the best spots, shared fun stories, making it a great experience. If you want a hiking adventure that's as much about laughter and having a good time as it is about nature, Rafael is your go-to! ;)
