Description
This experience is special because it offers something that most visitors never experience: the active climbing of the Sugar Bread. Instead of just visiting a viewpoint, you walk the Costão Trail, combining a short climbing track with a guided climbing in the rock, using professional safety equipment. The activity is conducted by a certified Climbing Guide, conducted in small groups and ends at the summit with panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. It is a secure, structured and authentic adventure for travelers looking for something beyond the conventional tourist tour.
