Great tour, but slip and fall coming issues
Our Tour guide did a amazing job, with the hike. We had a mishap when a lady slipped and got hurt, and had to be air lifted out of the trail. But other then that. We had a great time

Reconsider all options !
My issues: 1. I am laying in bed sick after this tour. They picked me up in a pickup truck that was not covered. Imaging getting out of bed at 630am and sitting in an open safari truck for an hour there and an hour back ! If I would have known I would be in a safari truck like we were going to look at lions I would have canceled and went with someone else. I was freezing in the back of that truck! I wasn’t the only one because the lady with the group had her jacket on! Ask these people what kind of vehicle you’ll be in ! 2. The tour guide asked me to pay again, after I had paid on VIATOR. 🤔 I guess he thought I was stupid. He pulled out his portable card machine like I was going to swipe my card 😂. This got resolved! 3. The driver was not waiting for us when we came from down the mountain. We waited at least 20 minutes for the driver to show up! Other than those horrible things I listed above, just be prepared physically to walk up hills that’s shaped like this / for about 45 minutes. I am not sure if the 45 minute hike is worth the 5 minutes of pictures. But for sure, I wouldn’t book with these people again.

A very intense 45 mins...
A very intense 45 mins mountain hike where you have to climb to 1100 feet above sea level, great experience though. The views throughout the way and the Pedra POV is priceless. Definitely worth the effort.

This is a 'must do' based on the view alone!
Be prepared - the hike was not difficult but based on the level of fitness of your group it will take about an hour or more to get to the rock. The view is magnificent, the photos you get there are amazing. I do not regret this tour at all!!

Incredible experience
Rodrigo's accompaniment was incredible. He knows everything about the trail and helped us in everything. It is worth knowing the trail and enjoying this experience!

Beginner friendly hike with amazing view!
The view is amazing and the hike is not so hard especially for beginners like me, it was only about 1hr. For the ones who like taking pictures, don’t worry they have a photographer that will also teach you how to post. I also want to thank our guide who was very informative and fun.
