Pedra da Gavea Hike - (Gavea's Rock)

This hike was so great. Our tour guide Weber picked us up at the hotel, and took care of everything. The hike was a CHALLENGE, but was super rewarding at the end. I was in AWE of the view and the accomplishment we achieved. The rock climbing section was a fun challenge and again both up and down our guide had everything handled. 10/10, would do again!

We had the best experience on this hike, it’s was so beautiful and fun. Our guide, Jamir, was awesome. He was so helpful, kind and skilled. Rio extreme was super responsive to every email we sent, helped us change our date due to weather etc. they were a great company to work with. (We also went hang gliding with rio extreme.)

A demanding but possible trekking with the help and company of an experienced and passionate mountain guide such as Paulo, with whom we made the experience. He told us “trust” and thanks to our attention we were able to have prizes: The best view of Rio de Janeiro.

Thank you for sending us Paul!!!!! Great, spectacular, wonderful!!!!! The best guide!!!! Mountain caretaker, respectful of it and teaching at every turn.

This hike is once in a lifetime! Especially with Xtreme tours who guide you through the whole process and make you feel extra safe! The hike is a tough one, but the views up top make it all worth it! If you want to do Pedra Gávea Weber is your guy! He’s so knowledgeable, and makes it feel as if your Hiking with a friend. Would definitely recommend this tour to all!

Definitively a "must do" when in Rio, if you like magnificent sceneries, lush tropical forest, and coping with a personal physical challenge! It is essential to do that trip with a guide, and the one who accompanied us, Duda, was definitively the most gentle person, extremely professional and always ready to tell us where to put our feet and hands in the most challenging spots.

This is an amazing tour. But it is not for the faint of heart. This is an extreme workout climb. You will enjoy the view in the end.

I did the trail and climbing in the Pedra da Gávea on 24/09/18. The trail takes about 03 hours and has a variation of terrain and legal difficulty. All effort is rewarded with a sensational view of Rio de Janeiro. The guide Rafael Cajá, with a lot of experience and hundreds of climbs, was very important in the guidance and support throughout the course, especially in the safety at the descent of Carrasqueira. I recommend!

This was a great experience! We got a pick-up at the hotel and in very friendly atmosphere we did this trip with other 3 tourists. Rafael is an excellent guide! He is experienced, communicative, patient and very enthusiastic about nature. I can only recommend him. The hike/climbing was challenging, but with Rafael guidance we felt more than safe, even when my girlfriend had no climbing experience before. Only worries I had about the unexperienced people falling at me at the climbing section - but nothing happened and on such a spectacular place you can't avoid to have many visitors. Definitely much better experience than Cristo Redentor and a must when you are in Rio!

This was the most rewarding experience you can get when you come to Rio de Janiero. You can not miss it. when you finally reach the top of the mountain, you have the most exquisite views of Rio and all the landmarks; including Christ the Redimer. We were 6 in total, our guide and five tourists; polish, brazilian and english. Our guide took us through every experience of hiking, rock face climbing, absailing down. So safe and so much fun. Our guide was so enthusiastic and motivating and helps you all the way. I can not stress how accoumplished you feel after this day. 100% recommend
