Sunrise hike from Vidigal to Two Brothers with a local guide, lantern-lit 1.5 km climb, and epic Rio skyline views.

“I booked this hike because of all the amazing reviews. And just like what everyone said, Rodrigo is very down to earth and easy to work with. I initially scheduled our hike on a day that is forecasted to be raining and so Rodrigo offered to move the date. Although I ended up changing the date anyways, it was nice enough for Rodrigo to offer. To get to the trail from Vidigal, you take a mototaxi. I’ve ridden a motorcycle before but not with the twists and turns while going uphill. I just kept my knees close to the driver, wrapped my arms around him and trusted him as they…”

“The tour and the guide were great. Beautiful sun dawn overlooking Rio and one of the first 100 on the statue platform. Only thing: it is instagram foto alert at both sites and your group and your guide will be focused on that. So if you are out for this - perfect pitch! If you are not (like we were) it is still a good trip with some boring moments but anyways, go for this guide”

Daí fiquei em plena madrugada do Rio esperando responderem as minhas mensagem ou atenderem as minhas ligações e nada. Daí tive que ir na orla da praia saindo de quiosque em quiosque procurando o responsável pela atividade. Só conseguir fazer pois tinha um lá que tinha parceria com a “ empresa” ao qual contratei, caso contrário não iria conseguir fazer a atividade. O rapaz que me atendeu me passou a informação que eles não tinham mais o ponto…”

Il giorno prima del tour ha piovuto ed alcuni tratti del sentiero risultavano scivolosi, Beatriz è stata molto attenta ad aiutare tutti i componenti del gruppo a superare ogni fase. Inoltre è una guida molto solare e premurosa. Consigliatissimo :)”
