Pedra da Gavea Tours and Tickets
When Portuguese sailors entered Guanabara Bay in January 1502, they spotted Pedra da Gavea and thought its shape resembled the topsail of a ship, which gave the mountain its name. The granite peak rises 2,769 feet (844 meters above sea level and plummets almost directly down toward the sea from within Tijuca National Park.

Incredible
We were guided by a gentleman, Paulo, who ensured our safety and pointed out the best way to climb certain spots.
While physically changeling (and I say this as an active man who is in shape) the rewards make this hike completely worth it. The forest around the Pedra and the view at the end alone is breathtaking. Will definitely do again on my next trip to Brazil. Thank you Paulo!

Good Trail and Guide
The guide is informative and gave me lots of information about the national park, including plants and animals. He assessed my capability and arranged suitable breaks at suitable intervals. His briefing on rope climbing was adequate. His photography was good and let me have lots of photos with quality.
