I had the absolute best experience hiking Morro Dois Irmãos at sunrise with Christian as our guide. He was super friendly, had a great sense of humour, and created a relaxed, fun vibe from the moment we met. Throughout the hike, he shared loads of fascinating insights about the history of Vidigal and Rio, which added so much depth to the experience. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, and his energy really made the morning special. Highly recommend booking with Christian, truly one of the highlights of my trip! 🙏🏽🌄✨

Incredible Trip

Susan_W, Jul 2026

Had an amazing experience this morning and would highly recommend this trip. Unforgettable driving up the Favela at 4am on the back of a motorbike. (Just make sure you meet your guide before getting on a bike) our guide Derek was great. Communicated well before and was very reassuring. The hike required a bit of effort but was well worth it for the incredible views over Rio while the sun rose.

Best Hike in Rio

James_H, Feb 2026

Beautiful view of the city. LOVED our friend Junior. Felt very comfortable in the favela and the motorbike ride up and down was very fun. Hike was decently challenging but lots of good pauses with amazing views.

The views were amazing and Christyan is the best!

Alex_A, Oct 2025

The hike was incredible! Christyan was a great tour guide and allowed us to hike at our own pace since we don't hike too much on a regular basis. Plus he messages me ahead of time to let us know the meeting point and sent pictures to ensure we arrived at the correct spot. Would highly recommend to anyone going to Rio!

Sunrise hike

Daniel_N, Aug 2025

The experience was amazing, Chris is a great tour guide. The hike it self wasn’t difficult at all, just be sure to check the weather while planning

Unforgettable Sunrise Hike with Christian!

Deborah_K, Jun 2025

Excellent and safe tour....

Ken_N, Jun 2025

Excellent and safe tour. Early start, but this ensures you get to the viewpoint with the best spot before all of the other hikers show up. Recommend to anyone of good hiking ability who has the morning available to them.

Dois Irmäos

Therese_L, Nov 2024

Christian ensured we arrived first at the top of Dois Irmäos. The 30 minutes of peace before the Insta army arrived was well worth it. The view is amazing .

Best hike in Rio

Alex_M, Sep 2024

Had a wonderful time and hike up the Two brothers hill with Chris ! Highly recommend. Felt safe the entire time

Amazing

Anna_E, Aug 2024

Christian took us on a shortcut through the top of Vidigal and we were there in plenty of time to watch the sunrise. The views were spectacular and this was our favourite thing we did in Rio!

Beautiful views from Morro Dois Irmaos

Laura_C, May 2024

Really awesome hike! Although it was a bit cloudy the views were still beautiful and I could learn some Portuguese words on the way :) I felt much more comfortable doing this with a local since I was travelling alone. Thanks so much for the great time!!

Response from Host, May 2024

Laura, thank you very much for trusting me to make this experience worthwhile and show you the wonderful place where I live

Shit! I'd like to have a refund of my money

IsabelaA_P, Jul 2026

The guide simply did not appear!!! No one answered the phone or answered the messages! We got here at 4hs in point and just didn't show up anyone from the agency! Our luck was that there were autonomous guides that let us follow the trail with them.

Wow

Mireille_T, May 2026

The view and the experience are just as extraordinary on the way there in the dark as on the return in the light. Our guides Derek and Luigi were perfect!

Experience not to be missed

Julia_C, Apr 2026

We had a great time on this hike. We had a guide, Chrystian who was really great. He gave us explanations throughout the walk, about the surroundings which is very pleasant. The night hiking experience in the forest is special but great and then the view at the top at sunrise is spectacular! I recommend

Trilha imperdível com um excelente guia!

Nelson_D, Apr 2025

A trilha é incrível, vista muito linda, mesmo o dia estando nublado, valeu muito a pena! O guia, Chistyan é muito gente boa e experiente, melhorou a experiência, recomendo!

Extraordinario

Silvia_M, Sep 2024

Excellente e muito competente Guia! El e muito attentivo a gente! A trilha vale a pena! A vista e marvilhosa!

Recomendo muito!

Sebastio_M, Sep 2024

Que experiência! As vistas são absolutamente espetaculares, especialmente quando acompanhadas pelo nascer do sol! É uma experiência que vale muita pena, para além de ser segura ;) A trilha faz-se bem com o mínimo de aptidão física, apesar de algumas subidas íngremes, e o Christian é muito simpático e está sempre lá para ajudar, indicar os melhores caminhos e melhores vistas, e explicar o que estamos a ver.
