Activity Details

At the indicated time, we’ll meet near the Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro. From there, we'll set off on a 90-minute hike along the Costão trail.

We’ll start our ascent up Sugarloaf through a rugged natural path before facing the most thrilling challenge: a 15-meter rope climb up the rock wall. As we make our way up, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Guanabara Bay and the oceanfront landscapes of Niterói.

Before reaching the summit, we’ll pause at the Pedra Filosofal viewpoint, where you can admire the dramatic scenery of Rio’s southern region. If you look closely, you might even spot the Christ the Redeemer statue in the distance.

The descent will be easier! Depending on availability, we'll take the free cable car to Morro da Urca or descend via an easy climbing route. From there, we'll embark on a short 30-minute walk down a quiet trail to the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain.

After about 4 hours of adventure, our Sugarloaf Mountain climbing tour will come to an end back at our starting point.
