Itinerary

Rio's strongest and most rewarding hike, with a short, exciting and perfectly safe rock climb!
Summit the largest granite mountain by the sea in the world, inside Tijuca Forest National Park!
The perfect hiking tour to get a thrill and the most amazing view in town!

The Pedra da Gavea (Gavea Stone) tour is one of the most startling and rewarding of all hiking tours in Rio de Janeiro. The summit stands at 842m / 2763ft above sea level.
The ascent takes around two and a half hours and, but it is only near the top that the adrenaline begins. Despite a steep but short hand-climbing (15m / 49ft) there is nothing to fear in Pedra da Gávea hiking tour. It’s all perfectly safe using the climb equipments and requires no experience.
From up there, the view of Tijuca Forest and all the city is wonderful and we can see Rio's most famous landmarks.
On our way down, we will do rappel on the section that we climb the rock.
It is one of the most demanding and beautiful trails in the City!
