Additional Information

Nestled on the Western side of Rio within the expansive Pedra Branca State park, surrounded by wild life and indigenous forest. The Pedra do Telégrafo, standing at an elevation of 1,161 feet (354 meters), caters panoramic sights of untamed coastlines, the Tijuca forest, Barra da Tijuca and the illustrious Restinga da Marambaia, a restricted-access white sand peninsula stretching almost 43km. You can playfully strike a pose atop or dangle from an imposing boulder, and depending on your camera angle, it might seem like you’re a courageous adventurer on the brink of plunging down the mountain’s edge. Capture the best selfie! We’ll explore Grumari, Prainha, Macumba and Recreio dos Bandeirantes beaches on the journey back.

Feel free to notify us if you’re a solo traveler so we can incorporate you into an existing group.

Amazing experience and wonderful sunrise! - We did the sunrise hike to Pedra do Telegrafo. It was an amazing experience and a wonderful sunrise. Felipe organised it for us and he's been very efficient and responsive. Alex, the guide, was very friendly. He did a great job getting us there before anyone else, taking a lot of pictures and also providing us with plenty of tips for our stay in Rio de Janeiro and Rio State. Highly recommend!

Unmissable experience - It is an incredible adventure, 100% recommended. My recommendations: Bring plenty of water for hydration, bring a snack, sunscreen, comfortable clothing, sports shoes, mosquito repellent. PS: AVOID GOING up late, dry and with any physical discomfort.

Incredible Experience with Top Tourist Guide! - Felipe and Jalmir are amazing, we got on the road very early (5an) to get ahead of city traffic and avoided meeting crowds at the top of the rock when we got there. Totally worth taking this tour, but keep in mind that it’s a very steep hike for people in good disposition and physical condition. We loved every part of it. Jalmir was super nice and showed us a few other spots along the way. Highly recommended when visiting Rio de Janeiro.
