Absolute highlight of our trip to Rio!

What a wonderful morning we spent with Marcio! He was the best guide and we left feeling like he was a friend! We started nice and early to beat the crowds and after a little bit of a steep climb we arrived at the famous Pedra do Telegrafo with only one other family there! Marcio was with us every step of the way, filling us in on interesting stories, jokes and showing us some amazinf sights. He's also an excellent photographer and we got some priceless shots! I really wanted to see a troop of marmosets while hiking but as we were leaving the jungle we still hadnt seen them. Maricio said he knew they'd be about somehwhere and suddenly we saw them! I was so, so pleased! Honestly, if you're umming and arring about whether to book - just do it! It was me and my husband (35yo) and my mother (65yo) and we handled the walk well! On the way home we got to stop off at a gorgous local beach and enjoy a swim and a fresh juice. Simply an amazing morning, thank you so much Marcio!

Hike of a lifetime

This was such an amazing experience!! It was about a mile walk up and a mile back down . It is a challenge but definitely worth it !! Our guide was soooo nice ! Please keep in mind it is a hike before the hike and you have the option to get a bike ride to the entrance for 15 Brazilian reels. I’m so glad I did because I probably wouldn’t have made it to the top nor the beginning of the hike . I’m so glad I did it! Such a beautiful sight

Response from Host, Mar 2024

A must-do experience on your trip to Rio!

This was such a fun and unique experience! My wife and I love to hike and this was a great hike. It was steep early on but then not too difficult and the breathtaking views overlooking the water and mountains were definitely worth it. Plus we had to get the iconic photos! We went on a Monday morning and were the only people when we got there, so we are very glad we started at 5/6 am. Our guide helped us do such fun poses and the photographer there also had such great tips like tucking in a shirt or letting hair loose to make the photo look more epic. After the hike we also stopped at a few beach spots which were nice to see. Overall highly recommend!
