Pedra do Telegrafo Hiking Tour
Pedra do Telegrafo Hike Tour is one of the most famous tourist sites in Rio de Janeiro. Why does everyone want a photo there? Located in the eastern part of Rio, in the Pedra Branca State Park near the Guaratiba neighborhood, those who climb up to it have the privilege of being at the ideal viewpoint:
On one side, you can see the bay of Restinga of Marambaia, which is the perfect balance between swamp and beach. Multiple species of tropical flora coexist, so it is considered a Brazilian natural treasure. On the other side, in the north, you can see almost all of Tijuca Forest. This is the third-largest urban forest in the world.
As a curiosity, Pedra do Telegrafo (telegraph stone) inherited its name in the 1940s, during World War II. Given its ideal location, there was a telegraph headquarters to send and receive communications worldwide. Thanks to this, Brazil knew everything happening in Europe and America.
Our private tour of Pedra do Telegrafo will take you directly to the top…because we are at the top of entertainment and sustainable tourism.
Highlights of Pedra do Telegrafo Hike Tour
The Pedra do Telegrafo Hike tour lasts 7 hours (6 am to 1 pm), so we recommend that you come well hydrated, with enough sun protection and super comfy footwear.
We will start climbing the hill very early in the morning. Luckily, you don’t have to be overly athletic, so paying for a gym before coming is unnecessary. Once upstairs, you can enjoy one of the best views in Rio. Are you tired and overheated? Nothing we can’t solve. We will go directly to Grumari Beach, that beautiful coastline that appears so much in the photos below the stone. Then, we will rest in one of the tastiest places in the area for lunch: Prainha.
