Best way to experience Sugarloaf for outdoorsy people. Something for all climbing skill levels.

Best way to experience Sugarloaf if you enjoy the outdoors and/or rock climbing and hiking. I did the middle Coringa route which was honestly tougher than any climb I’ve done before as an experienced beginner to somewhat intermediate climber, but one who hasn’t climbed with ropes in several years and is a bit out of shape. My guide was extremely helpful with a refresher on belaying and safety, helped keep me going, and was patient when I was slow in several places. The views are gorgeous all along the way and I loved the variation you get with multi-pitch rock climbing, slabs, rock scramble, and regular hiking. All the gear I needed was provided which was so nice. Definitely bring bug spray as the mosquitoes were out in full force. I would also make sure you bring no less than 1L of water and then there’s cold filtered water at the top you can refill for free by the bathrooms. Getting down by the tram is easy and so worth it after the long climb up. Met up with my guide at a nearby restaurant around 1pm and made it up to the very top by 4pm with plenty of breaks throughout. Highly recommend this experience!

Sporty afternoon in Rio

The climbing tour was awesome. Well organized and prepared for the climb. I got proper instructions and we practiced in front of the best view of the beach and the sugarloaf mountain. I loved it

Best activity in Rio!

I had the most wonderful time! As a beginner, Adilio made me instantly comfortable and took me from 0 to be able to multi-pitch climb in one session. The route chosen was very appropriate for many levels and Adilio’s guidance was everything I could hope for.

Amazing trip. Our guide Adilio had a brilliant knowledge of climbing all around the reigon, he was able to support for our previous climbing experience and tailored our experience. He took loads of brilliant photos and sent them over to us. Fantastic experience

Awesome experience

Lucas and Adil were fabulous! We were in Rio for a week and the rock climbing experience was definitely the highlight of the trip. Everything was provided, they knew the routes well and the communication was clear and efficient. Highly recommended to anyone who's interested in rock climbing. :D
