Pedra da Gavea is one of the most famous rock formations of Rio de Janeiro and the most admired adventure in the city. You will be accompanied by an experienced guide and have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This is the ideal hiking tour for those who enjoy lots of adventure and adrenaline. You will go to the summit of Pedra da Gavea, which is the biggest block of solid rock by the sea in the world. At the top of its 844 meters, you can see the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, the Jockey Club, the Botafogo cove, the Aterro do Flamengo, the Sugar Loaf mountain, the Morro da Urca, the Pedra Bonita, the Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer Statue and the other mountains of the Tijuca Forest and landmarks such as Guanabara Bay, Ipanema, Leblon, São Conrado, Barra Tijuca and the Serra dos Orgaos Region.
This hiking tour takes place inside the Atlantic Rainforest, so you have great chances to encounter wild animals during the hike.

Pedro was an amazing guide. Super funny guy, very knowledgeable and very friendly. The hike is one of the best I have ever done and I will for sure comeback in the future.

Great guide. Good in communications. Well organized. Unfortunately we did not have view due to rain but overall enjoyed the trip. Since the rocks were wet it was a bit tricky but all went good.

I booked this trip based on the TripAdvisor reviews. I was sceptical about booking with this company but as they don't charge a single supplement I took a chance with them. With hindsight I probably would have booked with another company.
So the good points Pedra da Gávea is probably the best hike to do in Rio. Rabbling down the rock was great fun and the quality of the photos taken by the guide (Lucas) was super. It is a challenging hike but very manageable too, albeit a good level of fitness is required. Their are other companies that do all of the above too fyi.
I booked an English speaking tour. As their was only two booked on the English tour we were algimated with the Spanish speaking tour so the tour essentially became a Spanish speaking tour. The company has "form" in doing such a thing from reading other reviews here. The guide didn't have a good level of English in my opinion so other people on the tour had to translate to English. Given their is a bit of technical climbing involved I was a bit uncomfortable by that if a problem was to arise.
That said I really did enjoy the trek primarily because Pedra da Gávea is so good but the company didn't add a whole lot to the experience imho.

I went with a group of avid hikers and this was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Sergio, took great care of us and provided a lot of interesting history of the area. The views were incredible. The weather was perfect and the trails were well kept. Definitely would recommend to anyone

We did the Pedra da Gávea trail and it was incredible, our guide Sérgio made the long trail time go by quickly and calmly, telling us very interesting stories and curiosities about Rio, and also reassured us with the climbing and rappelling in the carrasqueira showing the equipment (which is of high quality even though it is a very basic climb) and explaining how it worked, he also took great photos that we would never have been able to take alone, super sweet and attentive, and the view, which is a show in itself because it is incredible, made every trail is worth it, certainly the next time we go to Rio de Janeiro we will do more adventures with nattrip, it exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend it!!!!

It was such an amazing hike! Highly recommended! You definitely need to get a guide if you are not used to rock climbing. It’s a very hard hike that gets harder as you go up. You need to be in good health and shape to do it. You also need to not be afraid of heights otherwise this is not for you! This is a challenging hike but the view on the top are priceless. Our guide was wonderful and helped us throughout the hike (the rock climbing part).

This one one of the best hikes I’ve ever been on. Our guide Lucas was very helpful throughout the entire hike and the views were breathtaking.

Our guide Sergio was amazing. Very nice and funny and helped everyone get up and down safely. The trail is 3 hours each way with 1 hour at the top for photos and rest. It is very steep the whole way so be prepared but the views at the top are more than worth the hike.
