My girlfriend and I had very little outdoor rock climbing experience between us and very much enjoyed our introduction to outdoor climbing in Rio! It was a great experience and we would definitely do it again!!
The best way to see Sugar Loaf!!

It was all excellent! The guide Adílio was super punctual, was already waiting for us when we arrived and was very friendly! In addition to being very patient, he explained everything straight and encouraged us to give courage to go to the end of the climb. You get much more comfortable after knowing all the information and how everything is very safe. We did me and my boyfriend and we loved the experience! We will definitely do other activities!

So far I've done two climbs on Morro da Babilonia and Morro da Urca. I've never climbed before, not even indoors, but I felt safe from the start. I had two different instructors, Agilio and Didi, and they both took the time to explain everything from the equipment to the type of rock that we were climbing and the climb we were doing that day. Super boa gente!! The communication with the staff was super easy and they took care to schedule my climbs during good weather conditions. I definitely recommend this company!! Can't wait to finish my course and do one of the harder climbs.
