An ascent from Vidigal overlooking Ipanema, Leblon, Rocinha, Lagoa and São Conrado. Daytime and sunrise options are available.
Access begins in Vidigal, so confirm the entrance point, local transport and your way down before you go; do not assume a vehicle will be available immediately. For a sunrise walk, arrange the pre-dawn ride and a return in daylight too. The climb has steep, sun-exposed sections: bring water, sun protection and a light layer, and use responsible local guidance if you do not know the access route.
