Solo female. This was the most memorable part of Rio for me. Everyone in the group was exceptionally friendly and the guide was extremely knowledgeable

The best thing I did during my one week in Rio. Is the hike easy? No. Is it worth it? 100%
Aaside from the view at the top, our guide Rodrigo was the best thing about this hike. He was so caring and entertaining, it was a blast spending all those hours with him. He has a lot of knowledge about the favela and the world in general.
10/10 would do again (but would complain on the way to the top, again :D )

My son (24yo) and I met our awesome guide Digao at the entrance to the Vidigal Favela at 3:15am for a sunrise hike to Dois Irmãos Hill. Moto-taxis took us about 2km up through the steep, winding Favela streets. Hike started right at the back of the Favela. Would not have felt comfortable doing this bit without a local guide. The path then led us up the hill, on one side overlooking the Rocinha Favela and the coast. We were accompanied by Spike, beautiful local dog who comes up most mornings apparently 😊
At the top, we waited out on the steep rock face ledge for the sunrise overlooking Rio. We were the first up there, but by 6am there was a crowd of about 50-60 people. Such an amazing experience, gorgeous sunrise, best views. 💖 Thanks for organising this Henry, the first of several of the tours we did with you. Digao was an awesome guide, helpful and very funny. Highly recommend Experience Rio and Henry for all your tours!

Our tour guide, Rodrigo, was amazing!! I would give him 10 stars if that was an option. He was so knowledgeable of the ecology and wildlife, very friendly and excellent English. I liked that it was a smaller group (7 total) and would recommend the sunset tour as it was less busy and the views were breathtaking. I really enjoyed taking the motorcycle (driven by locals) through the favela - it was a great way to have some exposure and a lot of fun if you are comfortable on motorcycles. It was a pretty easy hike as long as you are moderately fit. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately he cancelled 1 day before, and don’t give me any other option to join the trip so I did alone, and actually I see him there with him grup I don’t know if one people less or more make an difference but he just don’t find a way, anyway..

This was a great experience. Rodrigo was an amazing guide and it was totally worth going with him than doing it on my own. One of my favorite things I’ve done in Rio so far!
