👍👍 Fantastic hike for a breathtaking view of Rio de Janeiro. Aim to arrive early, at 8am, to get a quick parking space in the lot next to the entrance. The trail is beautiful and full of vegetation and animals.
Tip: there's no shadow in the top! Bring water and sun protection.

Acesso à Trilha da Pedra Bonita
Hiking area
👍👍 Everyone should do this hike. It’s very easy, the worst part is to arrive at the beginning of the trail. But the view is just stunning! We can see how different landscapes Rio de Janeiro can have. Be aware of the monkeys, they can attack, so don’t keep too much time looking at them.

Trilha Pedra do Telégrafo

👍👍 It’s pretty wonderful yes! Watched the sunrise at the top and it’s every bit as awesome and beautiful as it looks. I would rate Telegraph as the #2 best hiking experience & view in Rio behind climbing Da Gavea. We stayed in a hotel near the bottom and started the hike at 430am. Took little over an h...

Track Corcovado, Christ Redeemer
Hiking area
👍👍 The trail is difficult, but not impossible. We hiked/climbed it in about 1h50m from the entrance of Parque Lage to the top. Having said that, we were tired at the end. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Views are stunning and probably more rewarding for the hiker than the train rider. At the end...

Museu do Açude

👍 Local muito interessante apesar de afastado. Possui uma coleção objetivos antigos que pertencia a Castro Maya e um jardim com diversas obras de arte. Interessante a vista pois a história de castro maia está muito ligada a história do rio. O ponto alto da vista é o jardim que na minha opinião é muit...
