Pedra da Gávea Trail

Considered one of Brazil's most challenging and iconic trails, Pedra da Gávea attracts adventurers, mountaineers, and curious travellers from all over the world. Standing at 844 meters high, it's the largest seaside monolith on the planet — and one of the highest points in the city of Rio de Janeiro. From the top, the reward is a 360° view encompassing the beaches of the South Zone, Tijuca Forest, Barra da Tijuca, and even Niterói, on clear days.

Located in Tijuca National Park, Pedra da Gávea combines lush nature, physical challenge, and a good dose of mystery.
