    Great experience DO recommend

    Jessie was a great guide and took great pictures (trust me, you need to know the angles to get great pictures in this trip). Also, she helped us but did not pamper us. The atmosphere is great, people from the mountain having fun. The communication was also alright, they contacted us a day before the trip. Just be aware that is it a medium to hard hike to do and you really need good shoes and stamina. It s great hike for people who have been in hikes before and know a bit o conduct. Thank you, Jessie, for your good energy 🔥

    Disaster

    I took Uber to the start point (apr. 40min ride from Copacabana) and was there punctually, exactly at the supposed start point. But there were noone from the organisers. I waited there 1 hour, during that time 3 groups started the hike, but they tald I‘m not at their list (of course noone spoke english). No answer to the telephone or email. It was hard to get back to the city again. So they ruined my day completely. Waiting for the refund now. Still no answer to my mails..

    They never show up to pick you up at the hotel don’t book

    I booked this hiking tour 1 month in advance and Viator confirmed my ticket. I called the tour company Nmountain and the never answered my calls, my text or viaturs message app. They never picked me up at the hotel. They basically wrecked my plans for the day. I called another tour company rio adventures and they had never heard of n mountain. I am waiting for my refund now. Do not book this tour it’s fake.

    Fantastic adventure!

    Miguel was a fantastic guide! We had rainy and foggy weather for our hike and got some views when the fog cleared briefly during our climb before reaching the summit of Pedra da Gávea in a sea of clouds. Even without all the views we had a great experience and definitely recommend for those looking for an active adventure! The wet conditions made some of areas a bit more challenging but highly recommend the hike and Miguel!

    Une des plus belles vues de Rio si ce n’est la plus belle.

    Une expérience physique mais inoubliable. Notre guide Thales a su motiver le groupe du début à la fin de la randonnée grâce à ses conseils et sa bonne humeur ! L’ascension de ce rocher n’est pas évidente et une excursion comme celle-ci peut rassurer et permettre d’optimiser la sécurité grâce à l’équipement et l’accompagnement fournis. La vue tout en haut fait vite comprendre que l’on a pas souffert pour rien :)
