Description

Have lots of fun climbing to the top of this 396-meter Brazilian landmark.

It's about 2 hours going up between the rock's crystals, little monkeys, and adrenaline.

Once back to civilization in da Club that awaits us on top of the hill, the view is 360 degrees, and all angles are impressive landscapes.

We took the cable car down to Morro da Urca, where there are even more options of restaurants and drinks.

Half an hour later we are back at Red Beach.
