Amazing Guide - Caio was amazing tour guide! My friend and I did the sunrise hike and we were picked up from our hotel in Copacabana at around 3:30 am to make sure that we made it to the top just before sunrise. We felt super safe with Caio the whole time and he was fun to talk to! We made it to the top with enough time and he guided us through all our pictures and poses! Hahahah he was funny when doing so as well. Highly recommend

Best Guide - Caio is an amazing guide! His photographic skill is impressive and his knowledge of the local nature is profound. He took us to amazing places and shared fascinating stories about the region’s flora and fauna. His composition and lighting tips were valuable to improve my own photographic skills. Furthermore, his passion for nature is contagious and inspired us to appreciate the beauty around us even more. I highly recommend working with Caio for any photo adventure or exploration of nature!

Great Hike! - Caio was great. I booked this the afternoon before the morning hike was scheduled and heard from him that evening to confirm details. He met me at the trailhead after sending a driver and we had a great, but challenging hike up. You can stop as frequently as needed, but we made it up in about 40 mins. He’s clearly passionate about his work which made the conversation flow! Amazing views and he made sure to capture pictures in all of the right spots along the hike. Make sure you bring your water!

Viator review: Hiking Tour to Pedra do Telegrafo (Telegraph Rock aka telegraph stone)
Hands down, the best experience while in Rio! Caio was amazing! I did the sunrise tour and it was phenomenal. Caio is a phenomenal conversationalist and made the hike fun! Also, his photography skills are A1! Top tier! He gave great insight on the best poses. I turned 30 and this trip to Rio was a solo trip to celebrate, as well as my first in South America. This experience will always be the highlight. If you’re looking to do this, don’t even overthink it. Caio is the way to go!

Bring a headlamp if you're doing the sunrise hike - We were originally scheduled to do this hike later in the morning but our booking was changed to the sunrise experience (possibly due to the weather forecast for our original time) while it was still dark out. If you aren't accustomed to climbing over large rocks and tree roots and walking up and down steep and somewhat slippery inclines, think twice about doing this without more than a flashlight. I used walking sticks and wished I had brought my head lamp! We were told it was an easy climb, and for my 40-year-old daughter, it was. For me, it was a difficult climb so I was so grateful for our guide, Daniel, who helped me a lot. We were drenched by the time we got to the top because of the humidity, but because of the early start time we didn't have to wait long for our turn to take pictures. There was no sunrise because of the clouds, which was disappointing but we understand you can't control the weather. My daughter was happy to get pictures of marmosets and toucans, and even though I was nervous about falling almost the entire hike, I did enjoy doing this excursion.
