We'll journey through these landscapes to reach our trailhead. To ensure you're fresh for the hike, we've arranged a swift 10-minute moto-taxi ride to the starting point.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro s'étire entre montagnes et océan : plages célèbres, pics de granit, rythmes de samba et un carnaval connu dans le monde entier.

Le Christ Rédempteur se tient les bras ouverts au sommet du Corcovado, dominant la ville, et des téléphériques montent au Pain de Sucre pour des vues sur la baie de Guanabara. En bas, les plages de Copacabana et d'Ipanema sont le théâtre de la vie quotidienne, avec volley-ball, kiosques et promenade aux motifs de vagues, tandis que Leblon et Arpoador prolongent la bande.

Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
