Pedra da Gávea | The best trail in Rio
Description
One of the most coveted trails in Rio de Janeiro, Pedra da Gávea is imposing in all its form, and to absorb everything it offers, it is necessary to have a registered and experienced Tourism Guide in mountains and nature. »We will take the trail calmly and respecting the individual time of the people. »We will stop a few times for rest and hydration. »At first we will take a circular trail, climb on one side and descend on the other side for the best experience possible. »Before going up there will be a quick explanation to remember what was previously gone through messages. »The trail has an average of 6h30min, so it is important to have the support of a super experienced guide to help you in the most critical points. »The script may change according to the day and weather. But we will try to make the most of each place. »And of course, let's take a lot of fun and professional camera shots

I booked well in advance, arrived to trailhead early and waited 40 minutes, sending a message via tripadvisor once he was 10 minutes late. No communication at any time from him. Another guide at the trailhead called Michel’s personal cellphone for me; he didn’t answer that either. I understand emergencies happen but he could have pressed the one button to just cancel the hike at any time (even now) so I can get my $70 back. Try to book with a different guide, the other guides I met at the trailhead were fantastic and the hike itself is amazing.
we came here for shisha and when we was smoking we took same cocktails 🍸 they are amazing cocktails ,and staff very friendly and they do the best shisha in town 💯
A different experience, my guide Nicolay was really amazing and a very good photographer, there are no more words to say, Amazing!!!
Amazing views along the way, long hike taking around 6-6.5 hours total with stops along the way. It’s really cool to get almost a panoramic view at the top.
The operator did not show up. No contact details were provided by the operator. I was completely stood up. I don’t know if this operator exists. From my experience, it seems like a scam. Thankfully another operator was at the meeting point and kindly allowed me to join him.
Exceptional experience, everything perfect.. a little pulled but worth it and I am already thinking of coming back.. highlight for the guide Adilson
Fantastic guide and incredible experience on the Pedra da Gávea trail. Michel was super friendly and an excellent guide who helped us complete the trail safely. View from the top of the mountain is simply incredible! Total journey took 6-7h.

We had a fantastic hike up Pedra De Gávea led by Michel. We would definitely recommend this experience to others who want to see great views of Rio de Janiero! Thanks, Simon & Harriot.
Hey guys, We're thrilled that you enjoyed the hike up Pedra da Gávea with Michel! The views from up there are incredible, right? It's really worth it. Thanks a lot for the recommendation! Cheers,
Jessie was a great guide and took great pictures (trust me, you need to know the angles to get great pictures in this trip). Also, she helped us but did not pamper us. The atmosphere is great, people from the mountain having fun. The communication was also alright, they contacted us a day before the trip. Just be aware that is it a medium to hard hike to do and you really need good shoes and stamina. It s great hike for people who have been in hikes before and know a bit o conduct. Thank you, Jessie, for your good energy 🔥
