Dois Irmaos & Vidigal favela
This is quickly becoming Rios most popular hike since the pacification of Vidigal favela which must be passed through to access the trail. The hike itself is one of the lesser demanding Rio has to offer and the reward is one of the most spectacular. This is many people's favourite view of the city. It overlooks the entire south zone of Rio! It is about a 30-40 minutes hike to the 1,750 foot summit. After the hike you will be given a tour back down through the alleyways of Vidigal favela which boasts stunning views and lots of amazing graffiti. It is highly recommended to take this tour for the sunrise. One of the most beautiful sunrises in world! Price: Only $R 50 per person |

Mirante Dona Marta & Santa Marta favela
A relatively short trail to a beautiful viewpoint just below Christ The Redeemer. The view is predominantly overlooking Botafogo, Sugarloaf Mountain and the entrance to the Guanabara Bay, but also overlooks Copacabana to the west and the North zone of Rio to the east. Afterwards we will descend down through Santa Marta favela, made famous by Michael Jackson's 'They Don't Care About Us' music video. Price: only $R 50 per person |

Christ The Redeemer & Parque Lage
A little tour of the beautiful Parque Lage which is full of beautiful flora and fauna and ancient ruins before embarking on a trail to one of the seven wonders of the world. The hike to the incredible statue of Christ The Redeemer is about 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes. It is very steep in places so quite demanding. But of course the reward at the end quite extraordinary! Price: Only $R 80 per person |
