What to expect

We climbed to the top of the largest seaside monolith in the world, 844 meters high. A good combination of walking and climbing/abseiling. Nature is completely exuberant and present throughout the path, there are even encounters with small wild animals. We will do a circuit climbing one side of the mountain and rappelling the other, to see everything, passing through a 650 meter high cave, “The throat of the sky”. Our route would not be possible without ropes, harnesses and all rappelling equipment (included). The view is always breathtaking. And the exercise is guaranteed, it takes 3 hours going up and almost that much going down. We climb/climb mountains daily: 2 brothers Christ Gávea Sugar Loaf
