Adrienne –

First off, excellent communication we had to reschedule a few times due to weather. We had phone numbers to the company, our driver, and guide through WhatsApp and all of them reached out to us 24 hours in advance. We had an amazing time with Didi (our guide). He was an experienced and confident climber. I highly recommend booking with him. He set a good pace and always let us know where we were headed. We felt it was like climbing with an old friend. He was able to point out excellent view spots and let us pause for pictures. He told us a lot about the surrounding area and history of sugar loaf mountain. We spotted monkeys on the hike down the mountain. It was a good mix of climbing, hiking and sight seeing. When we reached the summit we took in the sights and had a slice of pizza before taking the cable car back to the bottom of the mountain. The weather was perfect! I recommend going on a clear dry day to be able to take in the view! Thanks Didi for a memorable experience!

Set off from the Pista Claudio Coutinho to reach a beautiful lookout with spectacular views of the entrance to Guanabára Bay and the city of Niterói in just 20 minutes. Then, brave the more technical trail and hike across stone ramps to discover some beautiful belvederes. Get the perfect introduction to basic rock climbing as you face the challenge of a 20-meter high vertical wall.
