We will meet at the meeting point and proceed to the start of the hiking tour. The hike is easy, with an average duration of 30 minutes, passing through stretches of Atlantic rainforest to the top of the mountain, which has one of the most beautiful views of Rio. The route is easy and done at a comfortable pace.

Upon reaching the summit at 696 metres (2,283 feet), we will have a breathtaking view of the city of Rio de Janeiro, with a view of the ocean, beaches, mountains, and green areas to the south and west. We will take breaks for contemplation, photos, and a brief guided meditation, which is optional.

After the descent, we will head to a special, hidden beach. Here you can swim, sunbathe, relax, or watch/play a game of altinha, a traditional beach pastime of Rio de Janeiro locals. Sometimes there are beach huts that rent umbrellas and chairs, depending on how large the stretch of sand on the beach is.

The order of the activities can be reversed.

The hiking tour is suitable for people with little or no trekking experience, as it does not require a high level of physical fitness. During the route, it is common to see animals such as capuchin monkeys, tamarins, beautiful butterflies, birds, and different species of plants from the Atlantic Forest. It is rarer to find coatis, toucans, bush dogs, and sloths, making the experience even richer for nature and wildlife lovers.

Depending on weather conditions and by prior arrangement, the experience can be combined with a hang gliding free flight (hike and fly), making the tour even more special and unforgettable.

Get ready to experience an unforgettable day among mountains, forest, and sea with the best views of Rio de Janeiro!
