To go up on Sugarloaf starts at the end of the paved, shaded Cláudio Coutinho path in Urca. The hike is mostly on rock slab, with the last section going through closed vegetation. 3/4 of the way up there is a short, 25-meter section that must be climbed using climbing equipment (a rope and a harness). While the hike and the short climb can be done by people of all ages, it must be led by an experienced climber. The journey lasts 5 hours on average, with stops for photos and rest.
What do you need to participate?
