Better than Rio. Real mountaineers. - I made the sugar bread cottao with my 9-year-old son. Just joy. I felt a lot of confidence in the guide. Plus it was very fun.

Amazing - much more rewarding than taking the cable car! - One of my favourite experiences in Rio so far - not for the faint hearted, but as long as you have a reasonable level of fitness it's an exciting journey to the top. I loved all the fantastic views and having my first proper experience of climbing - it's made me want to do more in the future. Thanks also to Flavio/Sergio for letting me rearrange at short notice and join a group on another day.

Gratifying result in the struggle to overcome a fear (altitudes). - Excellent personal experience and unique opportunity to visualize a wonderful landscape with views of the Rio you didn't know. The safety and tranquillity of the guide Leone were very important to the outcome of this experience.

St. Benedict's - We did the climb of Costão with Saint Benedict with the guide Leone and we loved it. The seriousness and experience of the professionals are perceived, which gave us greater tranquility and confidence. The trail and the view are wonderful!

Excellent - These guys are excellent. Super efficient super responsive. Sergio my instructor was very very sensitive to when you are scared, and makes you feel like everything all right no matter what. Really really recommend. They also never lose patience and are super super nice no matter what your level is and are always willing to help out. Price is super super good. I also checked with a couple of friends before going who live there, and everyone spoke very highly about the company.

Unforgettable experience - We had an amazing time climbing Sugarloaf mountain, one our best moments in Rio. The route is steep but not difficult. Igor our guide was very friendly and showed clearly how to do the climbing sections. Much quieter than the cable car and a great way to experience the mountain!

Great experience - The climb was great! The guide was patient and attentive. Communication with the company was very good, we received all instructions in a timely manner. We just didn't receive all the equipment, such as helmet and shoes.
