One of the most impressive hikes in Rio

The Pedra da Gávea trail requires good physical condition and focus in some sections, but the experience is truly special. The mix of forest, light climbing, and the stunning view at the top makes this one of the most memorable adventures I’ve ever had. The guide was attentive, experienced and made everyone feel safe throughout.
