Description

Get to the top of Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic landmark: Sugarloaf Mountain. Follow us for a family-friendly hiking and climbing experience in this stunning Brazilian city.

Our adventure begins at Praia Vermelha (Red Beach). Then, we’ll follow the Claudio Coutinho path to the top of the Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar). In some parts of the hike, especially the last ones, we will need to do some easy climbing. But don’t worry! This is an easy hike and kids are more than welcome. Once we reach the top, we’ll enjoy the breathtaking views of Zona Sul, Niterói city and other famous landmarks in Rio. We can then take the cable car down to Morro da Urca and hike the rest of the way down.

Riding the cable car is a fantastic experience that we recommend to all tourists in Rio. You’ll be able to view the Rio beaches, downtown Rio, Corcovado, Guanabara Bay, and others.

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re travelling to Rio with friends or family or if you live close by, this is the perfect activity to add to your routine or trip. Send your request! We are waiting for you.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
