Amazing hike! - This hike is totally worth the climb (if the weather is good for you to see the view on the top). We were so lucky the day we went and saw amazing views of Rio. Our guide Eduardo was awesome. He was patient with our group and make sure we got good pictures and stay safe up there. Highly recommended. Oh also it was great for solo travelers to meet fun/adventurous people, our group was all solo and we had a good time, ended up getting dinner and drinks together by the beach afterwards. Great time! Thank you!

Good trail with beautiful view - We did the Gávea Trail and I believe it is a very beautiful trail, with good views over Rio de Janeiro. Trail has approximately 10km of length with 830m of elevation, and is accessible if you have breath to do. The guide Rodrigo helped everyone to accomplish the trail very well, so even the most difficult parts were easy to accomplish.

Hike of Pedra da gavea - This was a hike but also had some rock climbing in it! My first experience of rock climbing. It was well worth the effort the amazing view of Rio de Janerio. Was so lucky to have 2 amazing guides and a great international group of fellow hikers. The group were so positive and supportive was very lucky to meet such amazing people. I enjoyed this experience and was glad I experienced it. Essential items : back pack, water, snacks, bug spray, high factor sun protection, good walking shoes, comfortable clothes. You see some monkeys on way! The guides are also super helpful and keen to take photos and videos to help you have this day as a great memory.

Best thing to do in Rio (Hiking) - Our guide Lucas was amazing. This was such a great experience. Would recommend the excursion as a top thing to do in Rio. The hike is pretty challenging (if you have done Acatenango in Guatemala, the hike from starting point to the summit of Pedra De Gavea is comparable to the hike to basecamp at Acantenago, albeit Acatenango is a bit harder). Both are very steep so make sure you have strong legs or are at least in shape. I wouldn't recommend this hike to my parents who are mid 50s and in decently good shape. An older person definitely can do it but you must be in shape. If you are young and resilient you will more than likely be able to do it.
