Caminhada Garganta do Céu e Cachoeira, na Pedra da Gávea

Guide Alex was excellent, with humor and involved. So close to this million city a hike in nature. Not for beginners.

So we originally had to cancel due to our flight being cancelled. I cancelled the experience at 8am on Monday Feb. 16th, our experience was supposed to start on Feb 17th at 11am. Per trip advisor I would not get a refund bc I did not cancel at least 24 hrs in advance, by my calculations canceling at 8am the day before tb experience should’ve been sufficient enough to get a refund, but we still didn’t get one even after I contacted customer service. So by this point we counted this as a loss, until someone from the company messaged me on my WhatsApp, I explained the situation and they informed me I could reschedule. I said ok, great. I rescheduled for today feb 19th at 8am. I was very happy bc it meant I could do the tour. Well the night before at 9pm I received messages asking if we could reschedule due to the weather to friday feb 20, I explained I would not be able to reschedule for that day and I’d have to cancel if that was the case. Well I never received a confirmation if the tour was canceled due to the weather even though I messaged the company for confirmation. The morning of I 20 min before the tour is supposed to start I get a vaguen message “it is”. Followed by who our tour guide will be. Very confusing communication. I did not show up since no one confirmed if it was still happening due to the weather and I wasn’t going to show up to a forest without confirming the tour was still happening. Anyway save your money or book at your own risk.

The guide didn’t show up, had to go alone

The trail is quite steep, but at its pace it is possible to do. The view is wonderful, super indico, very well worth it. I did with @gentequebtrilha and we had all the support and support.

Garganta do Ceú is a must-see in Rio de Janeiro. The experience was life changing! I am not an experienced hiker and found the trail strenuous, but the guide stopped multiple times for breaks and made sure everyone in the group was caught up. They also took great photos of us! We also saw monkeys and toucans briefly. Wish there was also some discussion about the local fauna! Otherwise this is a fantastic experience I highly recommend.

BREATHTAKING!!! The tour guide Catharina was super sweet and attentive to the group and to the environment, pointing out all the different animals she saw. The view was surreal!

Rodrigo was a good guide and could tell us a lot about the area. Unfortunately we didn't have a good view because of the clouds at the top. Luckily we were able to see several animals along the way (armadillo, monkeys, sloth) The hike was fun and challenging!

Rodrigo was our guide today. Expert about nature and took beautiful pictures of us and nature that we later received as well. He was especially nice and we were in good hands with him during the tour. It was sometimes a tough climb up but in clear weather you were rewarded with beautiful views and altitudes Until morning

The trail is relatively short, next to the Pedra da Gávea trail, but less demanding. On days of a lot of movement, the classic photo in the throat is in line and we have to have this notion so we don't get angry about waiting time (even because a lot of people don't have notion of time and want to do a full book there). But it's too worth seeing.

The best experience next to my guide Kel, very friendly, can speak Spanish and the view at the end is the best I have seen. The ascent is not very difficult however you must have a certain physical condition
