What are people saying about Pedra da Gavea

Great for active people
Great day out, but only for people that have a reasonable base level of fitness as there’s a lot hillwalking on technical Terrain. There’s also a little bit of climbing and descending with rope and harness, so not for the faint hearted. But that being said what a great experience. Lucas the guide knows this area very well speaks very good English.

Great hike, even greater views!
This was a physically challenging hike, with elements of scrambling and rope-assisted climbing, but that all made it more enjoyable, and the views from the top made every step worth it. Expert guidance from Edu was critical to help us navigate our way up, and he took amazing individual photos and videos of us all once we were up there. If you're looking for something physically challenging with a great payoff, this is it!

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!

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.

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.

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

Pedra da Gávea Guided Hike
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.

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.

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.

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.
