Pão de açucar climb, great experience - About the guide: Thomas (free lancer employed through the company) was SPECTACULAR. We were two 22yo women. One of us had some hiking experience and one of us none and he was very mindful of our pace and our needs. He also taught us a lot of interesting things as we passed along trees and sites, and wasn't focused only on hiking. Thomas said he takes groups of up to 6 people, but we were the only two that day. The hike was amazing, we got to see incredible views and push our limits further than we thought. Taking the cable car up to Pão de Açucar probably gives you 10% of the views and experience that hiking does. Some of the parts of the hike were a little scary but Thomas did a great job keeping us safe and happy. If you're thinking of hiking, DO IT AND TAKE THOMAS WITH YOU. If we ever return to Brazil, we'll definitely contact him again!! Price: 300 reals each, hike took about three hours to top of Pão de Açucar. Cable car ride back to Morro da Urca is free, but cable car from Morro da Urca to Red Beach costs 50 reals per person. However, there's an easy 20 minutes trail down from Morro da Urca that's free. About The hike: The hike starts out with a walk from Red Beach to the base of Pão de Açucar and then you hike steeply up several slabs of rock (mind your footing!). There's a small section where you need a harness to climb the rocks and then the last third of the trail is a normal hiking trail through trees. As you go up the mountain, the view only gets more breathtaking. Thomas recommended that we pause to enjoy the view before getting to the very top where the people who took the cable car were, and boy was he right. We planned to stay for the sunset up top, but ended up taking the cable car down before sunset as the angle isn't that great. All in all, we were thrilled with our experience and it was absolutely WORTH IT. Tips: BRING CLOSED TOED SHOES, a couple liters of water, sunscreen, and snacks.

Sugar Loaf was Sweeeeet! - Sergio did a great job as a guide. 99% of the climb is 3rd class or less. There is one short (~20 meters) pitch that we roped up for that I would estimate as fifth class (~5.5). It was a holiday weekend so some traffic on the route, but it was manageable. Almost zero rockfall hazard. A nice beginner scramble. Footwear with good grip/traction increases the fun factor,

Pão de Açúcar trilha com emoção - Great hike with some climbing. With a guide and climbing equipment the hike / climb is fine, about 3 km uphill, steep terrain. One section with rock climbing about 8 - 10m. Rope and harness highly recommended. Beautiful views, great experience! Starting at 1/2 pm for sunset on top is great!

An incredible afternoon with stunning views and excellent guides - Absolutely loved our hike up Sugar Loaf. Daniel and Viktor were superb, friendly, very supportive and made us feel very safe and confident on the trickier sections, but also very relaxed and fun. The route is stunning, the views are unbeatable and the sense of achievement arriving at the top is amazing. We also were visited by a family of monkeys on the way up. We stayed at the top to enjoy the view and watch sunset, which is definitely worth doing. If I had another spare afternoon in Rio, I would 100% book with these guys again.

Excellent and Safe - We had a brilliant time with Lucas today! He took us up the amazing and beautiful Corringa route which was 4 pitches of mainly slab - so our feet were really well worked out! It took about 3 hours to get up and we were lucky to see the sunset. Lucas had everything we needed for the three of us to multipitch up. He was knowledgable and gave us cool information throughout the climb. His belaying from above was great. We only did top rope and felt secure throughout. The grade was a French 4 but due to the slabby nature (very few jugs) we felt like it was in the 5's Would love to do the Italian route if we come back to Rio!

Climbing Pão de açúcar - Really nice experience. Demanding hike with a little bit of climbing and beautiful views as a reward! Our guide Adílio was the best. He knew a lot of interesting stuff and kept us safe and comfortable during the ascend!

I recommend closed eyes!!! - Super helpful staff, guide explaining and accompanying all the tours, but our guide “Dulapasta” is an excellent photographer, which has made the experience even more attractive! The van driver (Ronaldo) also super punctual and leaving us and looking always in front of the sights. I recommend this Enterprise and its team closely!

Sugar Loaf Hike and Climb - Viktor was an amazing guide. The whole booking was super easy. Contact via what’s app no problem. I can highly recommend! Best way to explore sugar loaf. Amazing views and the hike itself isn’t too challenging.

Incredible hike climb - This was an incredible experience. Amazing to see Rio and the harbour from this vantage point. Our guide Fabio was excellent. Incredible knowledge and made our safety a priority. New and very good climbing equipment. The agency were excellent to deal with. Prompt efficient. What a great experience

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.
