Must-See - Garganta do Ceú is a must-see in Rio de Janeiro. The experience was life changing! I am not an experienced hiker and found the trail strenuous, but the guide stopped multiple times for breaks and made sure everyone in the group was caught up. They also took great photos of us! We also saw monkeys and toucans briefly. Wish there was also some discussion about the local fauna! Otherwise this is a fantastic experience I highly recommend.

Super fun hike - Rodrigo was a good guide and could tell us a lot about the area. Unfortunately we didn't have a good view because of the clouds at the top. Luckily we were able to see several animals along the way (armadillo, monkeys, sloth) The hike was fun and challenging!

Super! - Rodrigo was our guide today. Expert about nature and took beautiful pictures of us and nature that we later received as well. He was especially nice and we were in good hands with him during the tour. It was sometimes a tough climb up but in clear weather you were rewarded with beautiful views and altitudes Until morning

Very nice view of the river - The trail is relatively short, next to the Pedra da Gávea trail, but less demanding. On days of a lot of movement, the classic photo in the throat is in line and we have to have this notion so we don't get angry about waiting time (even because a lot of people don't have notion of time and want to do a full book there). But it's too worth seeing.

Excellent experience - The best experience next to my guide Kel, very friendly, can speak Spanish and the view at the end is the best I have seen. The ascent is not very difficult however you must have a certain physical condition

Hiking Garganta do Céu - The amazing views, they took very good pictures. The experience you must live at least once in your life. The hardest course I thought but worth the effort.

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!
