This adventure begins in the Vidigal square, where we will take a motorcycle taxi (usual transport for the inhabitants of Vidigal) until we enter the reserve. A light/moderate 50-minute trek awaits us, going around the Dois Irmaos hill and seeing La Rocinha, the largest favela in Brazil, from above, we will also recognize the neighborhood of San Conrado, Barra de Tijuca, Pedra de Gavea, Pedra Bonita, Gavea neighborhood, Christ the Redeemer, among others. This tour has the best cost/benefit of all the trekking's you know! Night ascent: We receive the sunrise from the top and we go down in the morning. It's like doing two excursions in one! Includes flashlight and a coffee to receive the sun. In the morning and at noon: We go up and down accompanied by sunlight, being able to appreciate the path twice. Ascent in the afternoon and descent at night: We bid farewell to the sun from the top and descend at night. It's like doing two excursions in one! Includes flashlight.

A crack!! We took a guided tour of the Vidigal favela and it was an amazing experience. Our guide was very friendly and attentive throughout, he knows the area perfectly and made us feel safe and welcome from the first minute. One of the highlights was that he made photos and videos with drone, capturing spectacular moments and breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro. Thanks to him we have wonderful memories of this day! 100% recommend this experience to anyone who wants to know the reality and culture of Vidigal in a respectful and authentic way. An excellent guide!

In short...one pass! Fer is a fantastic guide, of the best we have found because he knows the place and the people who live in Vidigal which gives you a security bonus.
