We recently embarked on a transformative journey up Sugarloaf Mountain, guided by the incomparable GiGi. This challenging hike is definitely not for the faint of heart; it demands grit, stamina, and a sense of adventure. But oh, what rewards await at the summit! The views are breathtaking, and the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.
GiGi was a phenomenal guide—knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely committed to ensuring everyone had an extraordinary experience. Her passion for the outdoors was infectious and only added to the hike’s allure.
Our daughters, ages 9 and 12, were invigorated by the adventure, each step serving as a lesson in resilience and the beauty of nature. This experience has left an indelible mark on our family, creating memories we will cherish for years to come.
For those willing to push their boundaries and embrace the challenge, this hike offers a fulfilling and unforgettable experience. It’s more than just a trek; it’s a journey of discovery and a testament to human spirit. Five stars simply don’t do it justice.

Our guide Victor was great! Everything was well explained, we felt very safe and he had brilliant English! The views were amazing, it was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Warning strong level of fitness required and not for those with a fear of heights.

This was an incredible experience. It was a real challenge for me. What a way to live in Rio, vs taking the gondola! Great climb, best part was when roped up. Guide GG was perfect. What wild natural areas, what views!

Quite difficult and maybe a bit intimidating (especially on the steeper rock faces) but extremely rewarding. This was the most satisfying activity we had in our 3 weeks in Brazil and our guide Paulo was wonderful. He made sure we finished our hike safely and in good time. He was also very motivating even when I almost threw up hahaha.

Hiking the Pao de acucar this way is just amazing, you’ll meet monkeys, birds, and the whole hike is absolutely beautiful. On top of that, Lucas and Fabio were so so good vibes!

The hike and climb to the top of Pao de Azucar was challenging but totally doable and left us with a great feeling of accomplishment. The views were incredible. One of us had no outdoor climbing experience and we felt completely safe. Our guide, Didi, was a really talented climber and very encouraging. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a bit of adventure - and likes heights :)

I had an amazing day, we started with a little hike to the starting point of the climb. The weather started to look bad, windy and cloudy. Our guide recommanded a safer path and it was the right decision.
The guide was very friendly and experienced, he spoke Portuguese and English quite well.
I highly recommend this experience, it is accessible to anyone that likes sports.

Amazing experience. Looking at the trail, I was 100% sure I was heading for disaster, but Denis somehow got me through it. The views are amazing, and Denis’ passion for climbing is obvious. Just being around the guy makes you feel at home on the cliff.
