Sugarloaf Mountain Hiking & Climbing Adventure

Climb Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro on this guided hiking and climbing tour. Enjoy views, a rope climb, and a cable car descent!

Activity Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll meet at the Árabe Urca restaurant to begin a hiking and climbing adventure on Rio de Janeiro’s Sugarloaf Mountain. We’ll set off on a 90-minute trek along the scenic Costão trail.

We’ll start our ascent up Sugarloaf through a rugged natural path, facing a 15-meter rope climb up the rock wall. As we ascend, enjoy views of Guanabara Bay and the oceanfront landscapes of Niterói.

Before reaching the summit, we’ll pause at the Pedra Filosofal viewpoint for scenery of Rio’s southern region. You might even spot the Christ the Redeemer statue in the distance.

The descent will be via a free cable car down to Morro da Urca, followed by a peaceful 30-minute walk along a forest trail back to the base of Sugarloaf.

After about 4 hours of adventure, our Sugarloaf Mountain climbing tour will conclude back at our starting point.
