Additional Information

Situated between the districts of São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca, along the coast of Rio de Janeiro, within the Tijuca Forest National Park, stands a mythical colossus colloquially known as the Gávea Stone. This enormous geological formation, blanketed by the dense flora of the Atlantic Forest, has gradually acquired a vertical facade resembling a titanic visage due to natural erosion.

For adventure seekers, the trek to Gávea Stone represents an authentic challenge, evoking a sense of awe and enigma as it towers magnificently. Located at one of the furthest extents of Tijuca Forest National Park, it serves as one of the most breathtaking panoramic outposts.

Approaching the pinnacle, climbers encounter a short yet crucial climbing segment known as Carrasqueira, measuring roughly 30 meters and rated at the Brazilian climbing grade of I. Private Shuttle in Rio is equipped to provide all necessary climbing gear, facilitating a more accessible and secure ascent to the peak.
