Conquer the summit through the Atlantic Forest
Meet your guide, receive safety instructions, and begin your hike up Pedra da Gávea. Journey through the lush Atlantic Forest, gradually gaining altitude and experiencing Rio's mountainous terrain. The round-trip route demands significant stamina and includes steep sections. The ascent itself is a unique outdoor adventure in Rio.
Navigate the Carrasqueira rock-climbing section

On your way to the summit, you'll encounter Carrasqueira, the most challenging part of the Pedra da Gávea trail. This rock-climbing section requires using both hands and feet, guided by your guide and secured with safety equipment. This is not a casual stroll; it requires good physical condition and comfort with heights. Please wear hiking boots or athletic shoes with non-slip soles.
Enjoy panoramic views of Rio from the summit

Upon reaching the summit, you'll be greeted by a spectacular panorama of Rio de Janeiro, blending forest, mountains, and beaches. On a clear day, you can see São Conrado, Barra da Tijuca, and even other famous landmarks of Rio. Take ample time to rest and soak in the views before descending the same trail with your guide.
