Best way to see Sugarloaf - Sergio gave us a great experience climbing Sugarloaf mountain. He gave us loads of interesting facts about Sugarloaf’s history and about Brazil more generally on the way. He gave us options for what we wanted to do on the day depending on how intense you wanted it to be and was clearly very experienced. All of the equipment was really good quality and we felt confident in his skills. The cherry on top was the great photos Sergio took on the way! Thanks for an awesome experience!

Sugarloaf Coast Trail - We took the Morro da Urca trail, climbed Pão de Açúcar, with climbing in a small section. It was incredible, very professional, I highly recommend it.
