One of the best balances of effort and reward: a relatively short trail with panoramic views of Pedra da Gávea, Barra, São Conrado and the forest.
This hike is shorter than Pedra da Gávea, but the climb is still steep. I would check access via Estrada das Canoas, trail conditions and the return plan before ordering a ride: pickup at the end may not be at the starting point. Bring water, a hat and grippy footwear; postpone the climb in rain or on wet rock. Do not start late—allow time to descend before dark.
