Overview

This experience is special because it offers something that most visitors never experience: the active climbing of the Sugar Bread. Instead of just visiting a viewpoint, you walk the Costão Trail, combining a short climbing track with a guided climbing in the rock, using professional safety equipment. The activity is conducted by a certified Climbing Guide, conducted in small groups and ends at the summit with panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. It is a secure, structured and authentic adventure for travelers looking for something beyond the conventional tourist tour.

What's included

  • Bilingual Tourist Guide Specialized in Climbing
  • Security Equipment
  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • Meals

What to expect

Live a unique adventure in Rio de Janeiro combining trail, climbing and unforgettable views. The experience begins at Urca, with a trail of about 20/30 minutes until the beginning of the path. Then you face an escalating stretch of approximately 15m (grade 2 – easy to moderate), using safety equipment and accompanied by a professional Guide.

After climbing, we continue to the top of the Sugar Bread, passing through the Stone of the Philosopher. The experience ends with the downhill descent from Morro de Paño de Azulzar to Morro da Urca and a short trail back to the meeting point.
