Description
The Pão de Açúcar, in Rio de Janeiro, is well known around the world. The meaning of this iconic mountain’s name is Sugaloaf. There are many different routes to climb it, so let’s take one of them together!
If you have some basic rock climbing skills and want to have some fun while in Rio, this program is for you. I can create the ideal program to suit your wishes. Choose between single or multi-pitch routes. It can be either an easy or a challenging day, depending on your skills. I like to take clients on a short trial climb to then decide the chosen route.
The following are some of my favourite routes:
– Via dos Italianos (Italian’s route): 5º V+ 260m. It’s a classic route, requiring basic/intermediate skills.
– Chaminé Stop (Stop chimney): 4 IV + 240m. It requires basic skills, it’s the route of the original first ascent of Pão de Açúcar.
Does climbing this iconic Brazilian mountain sound tempting? Then please get in touch with me and let’s enjoy a fun day with the bests views over Rio!

Mountain Guide
Rock climbing guide from Brazil.
I started climbing and mountaineering in 1990, and I’ve been doing it for more than 25 years. During those years I climbed in most climbing routes in Brazil, and opened some of the largest routes in the country.
Additionally, I wrote and published 2 climbing books "Dividir and Conquistar" (To Share and To Conquer, 2000) and "Manual de abertura de vias" (Route Opening Manual, 2013). And I also wrote articles for several media and websites.
I’m Industrial Rope Access supervisor and is a certified rescuer in height and confined spaces.

Adriaan
Helpful guide and an interesting route to climb Pão de Açúcar. Conditions were wet so at times it felt a little bit dangerous, but we managed alright safely!
Pedro
Going up to Pão de Açúcar was an amazing experience. Alex Ribeiro was an excellent guide and he was super friendly. I would highly recommend anyone who enjoys climbing to go with Alex. The entire process of booking was very simple. Maca and Alex were both very accommodating and flexible with my schedule. I very much appreciate it. It will be an experience I won't forget.

It was excellent! Adilio was fantastic, I couldn't have asked for a better guide.
