Sendero para escalar montañas Pan de Azúcar

We booked the sugarloaf climb in April 2026. Some physical fitness is required for the climb of nearly 400 meters of height in the warm and humid climate of Rio de Janeiro. There is only one section of real climbing, where our guide provided us with climbing shoes, helmet, and belt and secured us with the top rope. It is completely safe because you can trust the rope. Even the inexperienced climbers of our small group made it without problems thanks to the helpful instructions of our guides, who, by the way talked to us fluently in Portuguese, English, and French. I liked the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere of the hike and climb, which was in contrast with the tourist crowds once we reached the top of the sugarloaf. Return by cable car to the Morro da Urca and finally walking down to Praia Vermelha, where you can go for a refreshing swim even after sunset.

Unforgettable experience of being able to visit one of the most famous sights of the wonderful city from another angle. Trail with climbing stretch made with total safety thanks to the support of the guide Flávio Leone, extremely attentive and patient, explaining every detail of the most technical stretches. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I hope to be back soon for basic climbing course.

Amazing experience - highly recommended !!! Shoutout to the team both on admin (very proactive and helpful) and of course the guides! Did both sugarloaf and Corcovado with them and had a great time! A.

Extraordinary experience, unique in my memory. I'm 71 years old, I've been climbing my whole life and I've never done anything so magical. Magnificent guides; Marcio accompanied me with security and conversation all the trecking, a great guide. I will recommend all my climbing friends from Madrid to contact the Companion of Escalation as soon as they arrive in Rio. Unforgettable, thank you

For some time we trusted the climbing Cia for course guide, updating techniques and in this last we take nephews for climbing experience. As always the dedication and efficiency are amazing. Security and great respect for the mountain. Always better

A unique experience in Rio for people up for a challenge. I'd rate the hike as difficult. It is steep. I was on my hands and knees a lot. The climbing part comes half way through the hike. It's not too tough. The views are incredible throughout. Our guide Sergio is very experienced and knows the mountain very well.

My guide Sergio knows the mountain like the back of his hand. He climbs it almost every day. We also ran into a fellow local climber who says Sergio is the best. The hike started off easy on a paved trail. Soon it is a steep ascend which requires knee strength, calf and ankle mobility and good balance. It is steep so I used my hands most of the time. The 20m climb is a bit challenging in certain spots but Sergio had all the equipment and guided me. It was exciting and my adrenaline was very high. It felt super rewarding and the views are impeccable. You get it all to yourself compared to the cable car station. (As a climber you can go down half way for free.) I am very satisfied with this experience and am grateful to have Sergio as my guide. It is my highlight in Rio and I would recommend it to anyone who is up for a challenge!

Very interesting. It is necessary to warm the muscles before the start of the activity.. bring water and enjoy the views because they are amazing

Amazing, great view, beautiful mountain. Sergio is a relaxed and experienced guide and speaks good english. Fully recommend it =)

Fantastic experience, Sergio was a brilliant guide. Definitely the best way to experience sugarloaf mountain, and the views were stunning.
