Morro Dois Irmaos

Gather at our designated spot in front of the Cardeal Arcoverde subway station in Copacabana, where our knowledgeable guide will be ready to take you to Vidigal using a private transport.
 Our escapade starts at the doorstep of the vibrant Vidigal favela. Towering above this bustling community are the famed Two Brothers hills. We'll journey through these landscapes to reach our trailhead. To ensure you're fresh for the hike, we've arranged a swift 10-minute moto-taxi ride to the starting point.
 While the trail is mostly straightforward, it presents occasional steep inclines that add to the thrill. Typically, hikers complete this trail in around 50 minutes to an hour. With the expertise of a local aficionado, you'll climb to the summit of the taller hill, where a mesmerizing panoramic view of Rio awaits. Drink in the beauty of valleys, lakes, and majestic mountains set against the azure backdrop of the ocean - an idyllic setting for capturing memories in introspective moments.

    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.
