What to expect
Rio de Janeiro
We will meet at a combined point and continue to the beginning of the trail. The walk is light, with an average duration of 25 to 35 minutes, passing through stretches of Atlantic Forest to the top of the Beautiful Stone. The route is quiet and performed at a comfortable pace. When you reach the top, at 696 meters, you’ll have a stunning view of the city of Rio de Janeiro, with views of the ocean, beaches, mountains and green areas. We will take pauses for contemplation, photos and, for those who wish, a brief guided meditation. We will also share a small picnic. After the descent, we will follow to a hidden and special beach, more reserved and surrounded by stones. On site, you can swim, sunbath, relax or watch/play a game of altinha, traditional beach fun of the Cariocas. The trail is suitable for people with little or no experience in trekking, as it does not require much physical preparation. During the journey, it is common to see birds and different plant species from the Atlantic Forest. Depending on the weather conditions and upon prior combination, the experience can be integrated into the hike and fly flight, making the ride even more special.
Pedra Bonita, located in São Conrado, is a breathtaking mountain peak that offers stunning panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. Perfect for adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers, this iconic location is a must-visit for tourists seeking unforgettable experiences in Brazil.
