Highlights
  • Praça do Vidigal - Upon reaching Vidigal Square, we’ll take local transport (MOTOTAXI 7.00 to go up and 7.00 to come down) to the trail’s starting point (10.00 at the trail entrance).

We’ll begin the well-marked trail, where we can enjoy a night hike (flashlights provided) and the city’s lights.

The trail is relatively easy, and from the top, you can take in the stunning views of Rio’s South Zone, its beaches, and neighborhoods. It’s truly breathtaking. The route is 1.5km and takes approximately 40 minutes to complete.

During our night ascent, we’ll make several stops for photos and to admire unique views of Pedra da Gávea and the entire Favela da Rocinha, once considered the largest in Latin America.

At the summit, you’ll be treated to a 360-degree view of one of the most incredible sights in Rio de Janeiro, showcasing the beauty of the South Zone’s edges, a view that has earned its place as a Rio postcard.

Then, we’ll wait for the city’s most beautiful sunrise.

On the way back down the same path, we’ll be able to observe the daytime landscape and capture it with photos and videos.

2 in 1 tour with great guide and views - Great view at the top, spent about 1.5 hr watching sun rise, easy level hike about 1 hr, they provided the head lamps, guide was very enthusiastic and friendly, and coming down we took a short cut thru favela half way and got to do a mini favela tour with graffiti and even stop by a cafe to enjoy sucos and pastry, which were fantastic and novel to me. Very good value for the money, make sure to bring a hoodie or jacket as it gets cold and windy up there, which was the only minor annoyance. Overall this was great value for the money and would repeat again.

Unmissable in RJ - It's an incredible experience, unmissable for anyone coming to RJ, beautiful views and good energy, I was a little afraid at the beginning because of the time the trail starts and having to enter through the community, but I felt safe the entire time! I'll do it again, for sure! 😍

Wonderful experience in Rio - Crazy experience with a guide, Rodrigo, who was super friendly and who answered all our questions about Rio! I highly recommend doing the ride with him, better than doing it alone...

Simply incredible!! - The experience was amazing. When Rodrigo canceled my sunset tour, he suggested the sunrise tour based on my limited schedule. Rodrigo set up the meet up time the next day at 3:30am with Felipe. After meeting up in the morning, and taking a moto taxi to the starting point (an experience of its own!!) we started to ascend. It takes about 50 min to reach the summit with few necessary stop on the way. By the time to reach the top and you think you can’t take one more breath, the spectacular view takes your breath once again. The sunrise takes approx 1 1/2. This was the most incredible sunrise that I have ever experienced! 100% worth it! On the way back we took a detour through a favela. Felipe made it a great experience and made us feel safe during the walk back. We ended the tour at a bakery where you can have some pastries, juice, water or/and coffee. Very thoughtful to think about adding the stop and to contribute to the neighborhood. Felipe went back to the starting point and made sure we had a way to get back to our hotels.

Great - The guide Rodrigo Cardoso is very attentive and made us feel very safe. In addition to showing us the most beautiful view of RJ, he gave us a little culture about the city, gave us entertainment tips and looked after us all with a lot of patience and wisdom.

The most beautiful view in RJ! - The sunrise at Morro dos Dois Irmãos is the most beautiful view I have ever seen. It was the second trail I did with Rodrigo and he was super attentive and careful, as expected. In addition to being a guide, he is an excellent photographer and looks for the best angles for photos. It was amazing!
