It was a difficult but...
It was a difficult but well worth it hike. Our guide instructed us along the way on how to climb over rocks and repel up and down a few places along the mountain. The views on top were one of a kind and our guide took the time to take some great photos of all of us.

Bring water, sunscreen...
Bring water, sunscreen and something to eat! This is definitely beyond just a beginner hike, but if you have any previous hiking experience you’ll enjoy it! Well worth the views

Thiago was the best!
Thiago was the best. Our safety was his top priority. It is obvious that he loves helping others conquer the mountain. Would highly recommend!

Lucas was great. Laid back, gave clear instructions, good sense of humor, and went the extra mile to get us all amazing photos. I mean, truly amazing.

Choose Max and no one else!
The first guide didn't show up without any warning or notification. It was raining a little but still I was not notified. Max who works for the company just happened to be there and helped me contact the company. I would have lost the day if he didn't help. The number on file was unanswered. He eventually accepted the tour and I'm more than happy it was him. He's strong, knowledgeable and reliable. All qualities that are necessary for this hike. I would have given them 1 star if it wasn't for him. I would highly recommend requesting him if you're going to book this hike. It's hard! But he made it fun and bearable. He knows when to stop to rest, push you to keep going and take good pics and videos. He literally saved the day!

Best guides, best view, best pictures
It was honestly one of the best experiences I had. It is a bit physical, but it's trully worth it. The guides were just amazing. Ronald and Edu really took care of us, they were fun, helping, they tell you were to take the pictures, guide you, take them for you, Edu also helkped fly my drone. The whole experience was so amazing, I don't think you can get a better view of Rio, honestly. We saw some monkeys and coatis. Burned 1000+ calories as per my watch, and enjoyed every second of it.

Challenging but very Rewarding
Challenging but very rewarding experience. You climb over 700m but the views are extraordinary. Requires good fitness. The rock sections were managed well by the tour provider.

Highly recommend this...
Highly recommend this hike! Lucas was a great tour guide and made myself and the rest of the group very comfortable throughout the experience. The hike itself isn't terribly difficult. I had never used a harness and ropes like you need for this hike, but Lucas made everyone comfortable and it was easier than I realized. And the views at the top are well worth the effort! Highly receommend the tour!

For fit hikers only
This was a very challenging hike for me. Took me 2hrs going up. Rugged terrain with lots of rocks. Ron Beulah is an excellent guide and truly helped to make sure that I got up and down without incident. There were 3 tourists & 1 guide. If you have any major health issues or are out of shape do not do this hike! You need at least 2 liters of water and snacks. It was very rewarding and satisfying to see the monkeys and tropical forests. I’d do it again since I’m aware of the level of difficulty.

This was one of the best...
This was one of the best experiences I had in Rio. As others have mentioned, this is a very difficult hike so be aware of that. It is intensive on your legs and cardio and there is some climbing if you are afraid of heights. Assuming that all is good for you, I highly highly recommend. Had a blast and the guides were super nice!

Great guide. Well Organized
Great guide. Good in communications. Well organized. Unfortunately we did not have view due to rain but overall enjoyed the trip. Since the rocks were wet it was a bit tricky but all went good.
