The Top 10 Hiking in Rio de Janeiro, RJ

Fresh reviews:

Ahh Pedra da Gávea… The only thing better than writing about this hike is doing it, and since I’ve hiked it twice now, I figured I’d write about it twice.This hike is one of the best I’ve done in my life for several reasons:1. Challenging. It’s an extremely challenging hike, and not for beginners, people with…

Pedra da Gávea

One of my favorite places in Rio! After 20 — 30 minutes walking you can enjoy an amazing view of the city. I had a fantastic experience when I went to Pedra Bonita before 6am and watched the sunrise from there. Unforgettable!

Parque Natural Municipal Penhasco Dois Irmãos

Cute locals park leading to Arporador, the best place to watch the sunset in Rio. It’s got trees and shade for summer, and often vendors selling drinks for cheap. There’s a small playground, blacktop (where street performers often meet and practice standing on stilts, etc.) and grassy area. It’s fenced off but…
