Highlights
  • Pedra do Telegrafo - To start the day, our private guide picks you up at your place and drive to the beginning of the trail about 1:20 away from the main part of Rio, in the West area of it. Since It’s a distant place with a large flow of visitors, it’s essential to start the Pedra do Telégrafo trail very early to avoid long lines and waits for the famous pictures on it.

We then go uphill towards to Telegraph Stone which is a rather steep trail, but nothing that needs to be climbed. The trail has a length of 1,5 km and lasts around 50 minutes at a normal pace. 

Looking at the horizon and enjoying a little bit of Rio de Janeiro leaves your energies renewed and your eyes enchanted. Too worth the visit!

  • Bira de Guaratiba Restaurante - Right after doing the trail, have a fantastic lunch at a naturally rustic seafood restaurant set in a tree house in the rainforest. The scenery over the sandbank fills the eyes, seeing the mangrove with its islets of abundant vegetation and beach views as far as the eye can see. (Lunch is not included in the tour price)
  • Praia de Grumari - We then visit the delightful beach of Grumari outside of the main tourist circuit, making it a great option for those who want to escape the crowds and enjoy the beach in peace. 

It’s certain a destination for those who want to be closer to nature, swim, surf or simply want to plant themselves in a beach chair and relax having appetisers and sipping drinks beachfront.

  • MaxCana - After having such a delightful day, have brief stop to taste the original delicious cachaça at the only distillery in Brazil to produce it without heavy metals and superior alcohols, and yet zero copper.

Early morning Pedra do Telegrafo hike - This was such a great experience with Gregtur tours. Our guide Henry was very friendly and went at a great pace for us in the hike. We would have been lost without him! We went early (got picked up at 6am) and there was already a short line for photos at the "cliff" so defs get there early. The hike there was gorgeous in itself. Afterwards he took us to a beach in the area which was gorgeous and had cute lookout points too. It was pretty much only locals and actually felt much safer than the main beaches in Rio- we loved it. I highly recommend going with Gregtur tours for a private tour to the area.
