Amazing experience - Incredible landscape! The trail takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes through thick forest, the sun doesn't stay up all the time and the view is wonderful!

Epic Hike: Stunning Views and New Friendships - I had an amazing time hiking with Vagner and Ricardo. The hike was a bit tough, especially at the end when it got steeper, but the views were definitely worth it. It was one of the most beautiful views I've seen, where nature and real life come together perfectly. The hike was fun and full of jokes, It felt like I'd known the guys for years. We stopped at a waterfall on our way back located deep in the woods, a very relaxing and special experience as well. It was well worth the money! Thank you so much!

Spectacular view and very good guide - Rodrigo is a very good guide, who knows the area and is always attentive to making the tour more enjoyable. The hike itself can be a little challenging, but it's totally worth it because the views at the end are spectacular.

A Hike to Remember - This trail was incredible scenic and exhilarating to complete. There multiple points during the ascending trail that offers mind blowing views. Rodrigo is an expert guide who has a knack for enjoyable story telling with his deep love and knowledge of Río de Janeiro. He has the ability to connect with people in a warm snd familiar way. Rodrigo also offers great photos for you with the best vantage points and he offers an option to purchase cinematic drone footage of the experience. This activity is one of the reasons I will never forget my time in Brazil and one of the reasons I will surely return. He is a true professional. If you enjoy being active and outdoors I highly recommend doing this trail with Rodrigo.

Wonderful trail at Garganta do Céu - My experience with Rodrigo at the trail was amazingly beautiful, we managed to take awesome photos while connecting with nature. We saw a couple water falls, drank refreshing born water from the mountain, looked at beautiful Rio from an excellent view from both sides of the mountain and later on get to Garganta do Céu where the view was even more beautiful and excellent for pics and vids he took. Connecting with nature as well with my host Rodrigo, was a plus. Definitely recommend as a great Tourist guy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
