Description

Ready to explore the wonders of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? Then follow us for a unique adventure biking and hiking to Morro da Urca in Copacabana, all in one day.

We’ll begin by riding our bikes from Copacabana beach to Praia Vermelha (Red Beach). From there, we’ll hike towards Morro da Urca. Along the way, we’ll get to see the local flora and fauna and, if we’re lucky, we’ll bump into marmoset monkeys. We can stop at the smaller hill for some photos and sightseeing and, if you like, we can ride the cable car up to Sugar Loaf (Pão de Açúcar) – we strongly recommend this. We’ll then hike back to the starting point and ride our bikes back to Copacabana. There’s the option to enjoy local food and drinks at the end of the hike at Mureta da Urca.

The Sugar Loaf is one of Rio’s most iconic landmarks that sits at the Guanabara Bay by the Atlantic Ocean. The cable car offers breathtaking 360°-views of all the Rio beaches, downtown Rio, Corcovado, Guanabara Bay, and others.

So, what are you waiting for? Then book your trip now and get ready to be blown away with the views.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
