Located in Barra de Guaratiba, this hike is safe yet adrenaline-inducing, requiring about an hour to reach the top where scenery and photos abound. Departures are offered at sunrise, in the morning, or at sunset, and expert guides ensure the best timing to avoid crowds and capture memorable shots. After the trek, participants can unwind at nearby scenic beaches such as Grumari or Prainha.

    Trilha Pedra do Telegrafo

    The hike to the peak of Telegraph hill will take about 30-45 minutes. From the top you will experience amazing panoramic views of beaches and landscapes. You will have the opportunity to take photos from the famous rock that juts out to create an optical illusion of being high above the ground with the sea below in the background. Watching the sun rise from the top of the hill is even more spectacular and memorable.
