Overcome the challenges of Pedra da Gávea on a hike and climb of the monolithic mountain in the C sector of Tijuca National Park. Climb the world's largest block of solid rock by the sea, and get fantastic views of Rio de Janeiro city, Guanabara Bay, Ipanema, Leblon, São Conrado, Barra Tijuca and the Serra dos Orgaos region from 842 meters above sea level.
Start with an ascent of Pedra da Gávea using a traditional circuit that only involves a basic level of rock climbing.
