Great alternative to escape the crowds - Highly recommend the hiking tour as a great way to experience the Pao de Azúcar. The hike is a little challenging (maybe think twice if you're not comfortable with heights) but fun and rewarding. Daniel was very helpful in organizing a guide for us on short notice.
