Description of Pedra de Gavea Hiking Tour:
Shrouded in mystery, the giant appears imposing and beautiful in the most admired adventure in the city. In the standard circuit hike, overcoming the steep path up and the basic climbing section are the challenge to experience the rewards.
But don’t worry, the climbing gear is included and no previous experience is needed. In the advanced circuit hike, the jungle is dense until reaching the Garganta do Céu grotto, a unique place that reveals one of the most stunning views.
