Experience an unforgettable adventure on Sugarloaf Mountain, hiking and climbing the route known as Costão do Pão de Açúcar, with breathtaking views of the city and the sea all the way to the summit.
Guided by experienced professionals, the route mixes nature, challenge and safety to the summit, with a descent by the famous cable car.
A unique experience for those looking for contact with the mountain and just the right amount of excitement. No climbing experience is necessary, our company provides all the safety equipment for the activity
Our adventure kicks off at the Claudio Coutinho Track in the Urca neighborhood, where you'll start connecting with nature before you actually hit the trail.
We'll make a few stops at viewpoints to take in Guanabara Bay and Sugarloaf Mountain itself from angles that you can only enjoy on the trail. We'll pass through stretches of rocky slabs before reaching the climbing section.
The climbing section is a 15m technical stretch that we'll do with safety equipment and rope. All material is provided by the company.
We'll follow our trail until we reach the classic viewpoint, known as Pedra Filosofal, with a view of the sea, Copacabana, and the south zone of Rio de Janeiro.
From this viewpoint, we'll head back to the trail to hike before reaching the summit. From the summit, you can enjoy a breathtaking view.
We'll take the cable car down to Morro da Urca, where you can get another view.
We'll finish our activity by descending a short trail from Morro da Urca to the meeting point at the start of the activity.
