Itinerary

In this experience, we will hike to the top of the TWO BROTHER's HILL, to check one of the most stunning viewpoints of the city. Located in the south coast of Rio, between the neightbourhoods of Leblon and São Conrado, the Two Brother's Hill is part of the iconic landscape of Ipanema beach. We will meet in front of the Sheraton Hotel and walk together to the Vidigal neighbourhood, from where we will take a mototaxi - driven by locals to the "Vila Olímpica do Vidigal" where our hike begins. The trail is 1.5km long and is considered moderate. Presenting some steep stretches, we will hike on constant uphill for 70 minutes to reach the top of the "big brother" mountain that has 550m altitude. Once in the peak we'll take time to relax, enjoy the view, take in the beauty and relax. I will explain some stories of Rio, the curiosities of the Vidigal and Rocinha comunities and share the knowledge of our beautiful forest. Then we will hike down for 60 min and finish our experience having a delicious açaí bowl, a cold coconut or a local beer in the Leblon Viewpoint. IMPORTANT: The cost of mototaxi and the fee to enter the comunity is NOT included
