Telegraphic rock trip

Published on Feb, 2025

Its a very early trip but so worth it, i took the 3am and when we got there there were already another group. So if you want best chances to get good pictures take the early morning trip. Thellis the guide is the best! He took great pictures and gace good information of what we are seeing along the way. I wouldnt do this tour any other way.

Telegraph Hill Hike !

This is a fantastic trip, however it is a strenuous hike if you are not used to hiking. The early morning hike is the best . Our guide Samuel was fantastic.

A Thrilling Adventure with Stunning Views

Published on Jan, 2025

My early morning hiking tour to Telegraph Rock in Rio de Janeiro was truly unforgettable! The hike was a bit challenging at times, but it was worth every step. The journey through the lush forest at dawn was serene, and reaching the top felt like stepping into a dream. The views from Telegraph Rock were absolutely breathtaking—perfect for capturing those once-in-a-lifetime photos! Standing on the famous rock was both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking because of how high we were, but the guide was so professional and reassuring that I felt completely safe. There is a photographer at the top as well, but we got there before he did. I cannot image doing this hike daily! This hike is an absolute must if you’re staying in Rio and want to combine adventure with incredible photo opportunities. I highly recommend starting early to beat the heat and catch the best light for pictures. We were the first people on the mountain that day. The tour guide picked us up from our hotel in Copacabana and it was a bit of a long drive but my husband and I fell asleep for most of the drive. Over all it was truly an experience I’ll never forget! In full transparency I am out of shape and I never work out but I made it. Bring water, sunglasses, bug spray/repellant, sunscreen- layers no bags. You can leave your bags in the car during the actual hike. You should bring a bag for the beach and a little blanket to sit on. It took me about an hour to get tot he top as I took as many breaks as needed. The hills are steep! Just do it! You may regret it during the hike but you will be so happy you did it after. We then went to a local shop and got coconut water while looking at an incredible view of the ocean. We visited the beaches after, the water was ice cold, but again I am so happy that I did this experience during my visit to Rio De Janeiro!

Adventurous

Published on Dec, 2024

Great hike that was challenging but doable. My favorite part was that it was far from the hustle and bustle of Copacabana. The view and pictures at the summit were breathtaking and scared my social media friends and family but it’s completely safe lol After our hike we went to a beach that was clean and not crowded unlike Copacabana Leme and Ipanema. Our tour guide did a great job as well
