Itinerary

The trail starts at Bom Retiro and is easy through its extent. There's a slight increase in difficulty in its final checkpoint due to its slope, where it is necessary to use the hands to pull and lean onto exposed roots to overcome the slope. From up top, the hiker is rewarded with a great view of the city, where it is possible to see Barra da Tijuca/Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Gávea´s Stone, Beautiful Stone, São Conrado, Sugarloaf, Lagoon, Christ the Redeemer, among many others.

Pick up and drop out by car included.

Amazing tour with Bruno ! Bruno is an excellent guide that love is job and transmit his passion for nature and hiking. We had a really great walk and arrive on a beautiful view point where we could see a 360° of Rio. We learned a lot about Rio with Bruno's own story and experience. He is really generous and like to share what he knows about the city. I really enjoyed this tour and will recommend it to anyone. The hike is not so difficult and the view worth the trip !

Bruno is the best guide I ever met and as a vayable ambassador in Paris, I met a lot. He is smart and open and speaks a great English, he knows his city by heart and the jungle even better. He offer easy hiking tours but also hardcore and very experienced ones that lasts long. He also has biking tours that look great. I had the best time with him and the hiking tour was great and not too hard for me. At the end we reach a great point with a beautiful view of all Rio where we stayed and talked about our respective countries and cities and about what we could do in Rio and what is the history of Rio, etc. He also know lots about the historical events in Rio. Briefly i loved the hike and Bruno and I truly recommend to meet with him to anyone who is there :) We became great friends now and this is the best thing that can happen when you do a tour on Vayable !
