Pedra Da Gavea - Garganta do Ceu Hike - My guide was on time, and we got to hiking right away. This was a steeper incline than I’m used to, so I had to take a lot of breaks. My guide was very patient when I needed to rest, and was encouraging me the whole time!

Rodrigo is the best guide ever! - Rodrigo is the best guide ever! The hike to Garganta do Céu was incredible—he has deep knowledge of the area and Rio de Janeiro in general. The 3-4 hour hike was not only beautiful but also filled with great conversation and fascinating insights about RJ. Rodrigo is also an amazing photographer! Even though I’m not super photogenic, he managed to take stunning pictures of me with breathtaking landscapes. He takes his time to get the perfect shot and even checks if you like them, offering to take more if needed. Whenever I return to Rio, I will definitely book more tours with him. Absolutely recommended!

Great time - Went solo and had a great time. Ended up with a great group of people and a great guide. We hiked the trail fairly quickly and were able to enjoy the views and take a lot of pictures. Next time I’m in Rio I’ll be back for sure.

Epic - Was amazing!!!! The uber ride to the meetup point was super easy and scenic—- there, we could purchase for a very nominal rate backpacks and water and bug repellant and snacks and more —- our guide Ronald made sure we had enough provisions and then we bagan the gorgeous trek upward!!! He took photos for us all along the way which he later uploaded to a drive for us to have as keepsakes!!!! It was a very satisfying climb with the most gorgeous vista at the top!!! U could see hang gliders and rock climbers and all of Rio!!!! Coming down the mountain was an adventure as well—— the tree roots sprawl like jumanji and u hold them like you’re Tarzan!!! Super fun!!! Enjoy!!!

Incredible guide Rodrigo Indio & Incredible Views - This hike was definitely challenging, but absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views! Guia Rodriguez made the experience even better—he was super friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the group motivated the whole way. His English was fantastic, making communication easy, and he provided great insights about the area. If you’re looking for an amazing guide to help you through a rewarding adventure, Rodriguez is the one to go with! Highly recommend!

Great hike great guide - Rodrigo was a great guide, took great photos for us, communicated great and was accommodating to our hiking speed. The hike is enjoyable through the rainforest and Rodrigo had good details about the surroundings. It is a tough but not hard hike, but he made sure we had plenty of breaks on the hike. The parking at the location is very abundant compared to my experiences in Brazil.
