The one in Pedra da Gávea has been the most amazing hike of my whole life. It's challenging, but climbing was pure adrenaline! And the view at the top of the mountain was breathtaking! So worth it!!! Definitely go for it if you're trained enough. Eduardo, the tour guide, paid attention for us to be safe all the time.
