Description

Embark on an exciting adventure through one of Rio de Janeiro’s most beautiful natural areas. Located in Tijuca National Park, the Pedra Bonita hike gives you the chance to explore the city's wild side, with amazing views waiting for you at the top. Start near São Conrado and take a hike right into the Atlantic rainforest, where you’ll be surrounded by tall trees and thick green plants. The trail winds uphill, and while it’s not too hard, there are some steeper parts that will get your heart beating faster. Along the way, hear the calls of tropical birds and might spot small animals hiding in the bushes. The forest feels alive and full of adventure as you walk. As you climb higher, catch glimpses of the ocean and beaches far below, making the journey even more exciting. When you reach the summit, stand on the rocky peak of Pedra Bonita and be treated to an incredible 360-degree view of Rio’s coastline. See the golden beaches of Barra da Tijuca, the ocean stretching out into the horizon, and the famous Pedra da Gávea towering in the distance. On some days, watch hang gliders jump off the mountain and soar through the air—a thrilling sight.
