the hike to the top was sweaty but the view was 100% worth it. from the top we could see Rocinha, Ipanema and Leblon. but the best part was going down through Vidigal, stopping at Bar da Laje and seeing the colorful murals. Bruno kept the pace and made sure everyone was safe and happy

This trail for two brothers is surreal. The start with the motortaxi is already exciting, but the visual from above is cool. We passed through the mirante of the arvrão and then went down the vidigal with several stops to see the walls.
