Along the way, your local guide will share interesting facts about the region's fauna, flora, and history, as well as ensure your safety on the more technical sections, such as the famous Carrasqueira—a climbing wall that demands attention and technique.

At the top, the reward is a breathtaking 360-degree view: on one side, the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean; on the other, the mountains, beaches, and iconic Rio areas, such as São Conrado, Barra da Tijuca, and the South Zone. Get your camera ready for spectacular photos!

This experience is perfect for adventurers seeking a physical challenge and a unique and unforgettable view of Rio. At the end of the trail, you'll return along the same route, stopping to enjoy the scenery and relax surrounded by nature.
