About This Tour
Experience Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic attraction in a unique and adventurous way. Join a guided hike through the lush Atlantic Forest as you learn about the city’s rich history and enjoy a fun, beginner-friendly rock scramble to reach the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain. From the top, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking 360-degree view of Rio de Janeiro. To begin the descent, you’ll take the famous Sugarloaf cable car down to the first hill — and it’s included in the price of the tour. This is without a doubt the most classic hiking experience in Rio. If you're looking for more than a simple walking trail and prefer reaching the summit under your own power instead of taking the cable cars like a typical tourist, this is the tour for you. Our friendly, professional guides will support you every step of the way and provide all necessary equipment. Hiking Sugarloaf Mountain will definitely be a highlight of your trip!
