What to expect
We'll meet at and drive for 30 min to Guaratiba neighborhood where our hike begins.
We'll hike uphill for 1 hr to one of the most stunning views in Rio from Telegrafo Rock.
Along the trail you will discover islands, long costal views with mountains, the canals and mangroves around the Restinga da Marambaia, and the richness of our green forest.
The trail is considered easy but requires a bit of effort if you are not used to hike, some parts are a little steep, but there are no great difficulties. Once we reach this breathtaking viewpoint, we will stay for up to 1 hour allowing time to take in the spectacular peak, relax, take pictures and just enjoy the views.
Then we will begin our 50-minute descent back to Guaratiba village.
To finish the experience we will stop at Prainha Beach for 30 minutes to try some coconut water or a brazilian caipirinha.
OBSERVATIONS:
- Due to overcrowding at Telégrafo Rock it´s important to start early in order to avoid massive cues to do the “famous” Picture.

It will be a day to remember!!

I spent 2 days with Alessandra hiking in Tijuca National Forest and Pedra do Telegrafo. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about nature & the environment. Additionally, I felt like I was with a friend when we were together. Alessandra communicates really well and we talked about everything! She even gave me tips on restaurants, shops, and places to go during my time in Rio. Since I was the only person with her both days, she was able to customize both hikes a little. If you are looking for amazing photos, Alessandra has that covered! She took the best photos of me at Telegrafo Rock. Do yourself a favor and begin your time in Rio with her because I guarantee you will want to do every experience she provides!!Definitely would recommend going with Alli to anyone and going early (we left Copacabana around 5:30am for an hour drive and had the place to ourselves for a good peaceful and serene and no-rush photos for 30 minutes before the crowds came).

Definitely would recommend going with Alli to anyone and going early (we left Copacabana around 5:30am for an hour drive and had the place to ourselves for a good peaceful and serene and no-rush photos for 30 minutes before the crowds came).

How many people would say that the best day of their vacation started by waking up at 5 am? The truth is, any day you spend with Alli will be the best day of your vacation... and we managed to squeeze in two days during our week in Rio. In order to avoid the crowds, Alli encouraged us to meet at 6:30. And it was the right decision. In addition to being an awesome guide, Alli is a warm and thoughtful person. She was easily able to customize our trip to maximize our enjoyment; and she knew exactly how to take all the best jaw-dropping photos! (We only posted one of dozens of shots she air-dropped to us at the end of our time together). She speaks English almost as well as we did, and even took time to teach us some Portuguese phrases. Make sure you choose HikeInRio for your outdoor adventures!Alli is a fantastic guide. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming.

Alli is a fantastic guide. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. My friend and I did two excursions with her: a hike through Tijuca, and Pedra do Telegrafo. I have a great fear of heights, but with her gentle prompting at the end of our hike through Tijuca, I agreed to try Pedra do Telegrafo with her and my friend. I would not have been able to do it without her help throughout. I am so grateful that I did. She was able to tell us about interesting things about the area and Rio in general. An excursion (or more!) with Alli is a must when visiting Rio!My girlfriend and I had a fantastic hike with Alessandra. You can clearly see that she's passionate about it and very knowledgeable about Rio. Communication was fast and easy and Alessandra gave us a lot of info along the way.

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic hike with Alessandra. You can clearly see that she's passionate about it and very knowledgeable about Rio. Communication was fast and easy and Alessandra gave us a lot of info along the way. It's not that easy to meet up at 6.30am but you'll definitely forget it once you have the whole place for yourself at the top. The hike itself is not too long but it is a bit steep so get your knees ready. Alê also shared some tips on the best beaches in Barra da Tijuca. The experience was definitely worth it!
