Hiking - Pedra da Gávea
This is an impressing granite mountain on Rio's shoreline, easily recognizable for its huge flat top. It is certainly the city's most beautiful hike, but it is only recommended for the reasonably fit and experienced hiker. During 2/3 of the trail, we are inside the Atlantic Rain Forest. On the last part the vegetation is lower and the views are breathtaking - a blend of forested slopes, ocean and city. After a short rock-climb we reach the summit, which is Rio's most spectacular viewpoint. On the way back we stop for a refreshing dip at Barra da Tijuca Beach.
