Rio de Janeiro: Gavea Rock Guided Hiking Tour + Transfer
About this experience
Start your hike at Gavea Rock or Pedra da Gávea, standing 842 meters (2,763 feet) above Rio de Janeiro. A hotel pickup takes you to the trailhead, where a 2.5-hour hike begins through the Atlantic Forest to the peak.
The last part of the hike includes a 15-meter (49-foot) rock climb and trails along cliff edges, all of which are navigated safely.
At the top, spend 30–40 minutes viewing Rio’s landmarks like Tijuca Forest, Christ the Redeemer, São Conrado Beach, Rocinha favela, and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. Descend the same trail back and enjoy a comfortable ride back to your hotel.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
