Awesome experience!

Rio Natural tours blew me away. They were extremely communicative on WhatsApp and very accommodating. I had another event to attend and they were able to squeeze me in. The team picked me up directly from my Hotel and escorted us safely throughout the park. It was a tough hike but through the guides help, he made it easier. I would book them Over and over. Great job team and thanks for everything.

Worth the hike

We had a blast ! Beware this is not a “cute” hike , this is a real hike that’s requires physical activity! Bring your water and bug spray. Our tour guide was great. The views at the top are unmatched. Will book again.

My mom and I had fun

Definitely got my workout in on the hike but it was worth it! I wore sneakers for the hike but if you have hiking shoes wear those! And bring bug spray.

Great views and nice beach!

I had a really good time enjoying this iconic spot almost all to myself! (in the afternoon during low season) Also learned lots of fun facts from my guide Sylvio. Highly recommend this trip, especially if you're are visiting Rio during low season. Just bear in mind the hike is short but high difficulty.
