What To Expect
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

Best adventure ever!!!

5.00It was a spontaneous booking as the lower sugar loaf hike was a bit too simple for us. It was the best decision ever as not just our tour guide Raffael made this tour incredible! The nature was amazing and also the climbing part was incredible! Not just physically but also mentally and his hike brought me and my friend to another level! Highly recommend doing it - 10/10 experience!!
Adrenaline , scenery and history

5.00This 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.
A must do experience in Rio

5.00Easily 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.

5.00One 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!

5.00The 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.
Hard but worth it!

5.00Amazing 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 adventure

5.00Amazing 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!
