Surrounded by charms and mysteries, Pedra da Gávea is 842 meters long and is certainly the most challenging trail in Rio. Whoever is willing to face a little more than 1.5 km of steep climb and a carrasqueira capable of putting fear in many people, will be gifted by a breathtaking view of practically the entire coast of Rio. The challenge is compensated when you reach the top of Pedra da Gávea, and you are faced with the stunning view that extends from the Atlantic Ocean on the south side of the city, its golden sand beaches, all of Barra da Tijuca and west of Rio, in addition to do Pão de Açucar, Corcovado and the Tijuca Forest .. The Pedra da Gávea trail is the ideal tour for those looking for a real challenge.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 13.
Pedra is the largest monolith (a single, massive stone or rock) on the seashore in the world, and arouses admiration for its grandeur and mystery. It is one of the extreme points of the Tijuca Forest National Park and one of the most spectacular viewpoints. To win the climb in the carrasqueira it is not necessary to have previous experience. The guide will assist all participants using rock climbing techniques and procedures necessary to carry out the adventure in comfort and safety. The descent along the climbing section of the carrasqueira is done by a technique similar to rappelling, where the one who will control the descent and the equipment will be the guide, offering your group much more security. You and your friends just need to enjoy the moment and take lots of pictures.
