Itinerary and highlights
Get ready for one of the most incredible experiences in Rio de Janeiro! Our adventure begins with transportation picking you up at your accommodation. From there, we head to the Guaratiba neighborhood, a quieter, more natural area off the beaten tourist track.
Upon arrival, we begin an easy to moderate hike, approximately 50 minutes through the forest. Along the way, your guide shares interesting facts about the local vegetation, the history of the region, and tips on how to best enjoy the trip safely and peacefully.
At the top of the trail, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view: wild beaches, mountains, and the ocean in the background create an unforgettable backdrop. This is where the famous Pedra do Telégrafo (Telégraph Rock) is located, where you can take those photos that make you look like you're standing on the edge of a cliff—but it's just an optical illusion!
Our guide will help you capture the best shots, ensuring safety, creativity, and the best poses to rock on social media!
