The Most Photographed Cliff

Rising 844 meters above sea level, Pedra da Gávea is not just a hike – it’s a rite of passage for adventurers in Rio. Considered one of the world’s highest mountains that rises directly from the ocean, it offers an unbeatable panoramic view over the entire city and coastline. This is a demanding trail with a short technical climbing section near the summit, but with a professional guide and safety gear, it’s an unforgettable and totally doable challenge for those in good shape.
