Lots of fun to the top of the well-climbed 396 meters of this Brazilian postcard. It's about 2 hours climbing amid rock crystals, monkeys, and adrenaline. Once back to civilization at the Club that awaits us on top of the hill, the view is 360 degrees, and all angles are impressive landscapes. We took the cable car down to Morro da Urca, where there are even more restaurant and drink options. Half an hour later we are back at Praia Vermelha. We climb/climb mountains daily: 2 brothers Christ Gávea Sugar Loaf

This was a terrific tour and a wonderful way to experience Sugarloaf that included adventure scenery and wildlife. It was a challenge as I have not climbed before, but I never felt unsafe. We saw monkeys vultures and much birdlife. My guide was very informed and shared with me an enormous amount about Rio as we climbed. I highly recommend this Tour.

Easily one of the best highlights of our Rio trip - what a great experience! Our instructor Denis was absolutely amazing, he guided us through challenging parts and made us feel very comfortable with the climb. This is such a unique way to experience sugarloaf mountain and I could not recommend it enough.

This was so epic and rewarding! Our guide Sergio was such a cool dude and very knowledgeable about local history and has lots of experience climbing and hiking. It was a first for us but he made us feel safe and at ease and we just had a blast. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful climb. It will take your breath away. The guide is very friendly. And you get to ride one of the tram things back down.

One of my favourite things I did in rio! You get to experience the rock climbing and the cable on the way down so it’s the best of both worlds. Rafael was so nice and I felt very safe through the whole thing. Highly recommend for anyone visiting!

The view while climbing is incredible. There are several parts with different points of view, and in the end the reward of reaching the top of Sugarloaf Mountain is sensational.

Amazing experience! Dennis and Rafael are very good guides :) Don't overestimate the climb though: protect yourself from the sun, wear shoes with good grip and take a small backpack to carry water :)

Amazing hike. Rafael and Denis are very professional and fun, they created such a nice vibe. The views during the hike/climb and on top are amazing and worth the small struggle of reaching the top. Panicked a little while climbing and Rafael and Denis helped me through it really well. Overall, a great adventure!
