The Rio de Janeiro Hiking Package is the perfect tour for unforgettable glimpses of Rio de Janeiro's stunning natural landscape. The three top hiking routes on Rio de Janeiro's most impressive mountains -Tijuca Peak, Sugar Loaf Mountain and Gavea Rock have been selected for this tour.
This package was designed to give participants a great deal, by offering three different tours in one package. The tour is meant to be completed over three days.
Tijuca Peak, within the National Park, and the Sugar Loaf Mountain hikes are both half day tours. On the other hand, the Gavea Rock Hike is the longest hike and is a full day tour.
The hike starts a little bit above sea level, at the mountain base, and goes all the way up to the very top of Gavea Rock (over 2700 feet). Many 'Cariocas' consider the view from Gavea Rock's Summit one of the best ones Rio has to offer, and the sunrise is magnificent viewed from there.
