The eastern side of Sugarloaf referred to as the Costão, allows for an enchanting hike up to the top of the mountain, providing you with spectacular views of the sea, forest, and mountain, as well as the lovely city of Niterói, all in one place.
After enjoying the views at the top of the mountain, we will come down by cable car, which is also included in the price. The cable car will take us to Morro da Urca, the smaller mountain next to Sugar Loaf. From there, we will walk down the trail to get back to the Claudio Coutinho path.

Marcos was a total professional. He responded promptly and confirmed scheduling. He was so friendly, by the end of the trip he felt like good family. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend him to all.

The tour, led by guide Marcos, was excellently executed. The ascent was challenging and demanding at certain points, but with detailed instructions and encouraging words from Marcos, we all reached the summit without any problems. The view of Rio during the ascent and from the top was breathtaking and unforgettable and well worth the effort. I highly recommend this tour 😊

Extremely disappointed - showed up for the hike only to be told once I was already there that it was cancelled. The associated company was unhelpful with answering my queries for a refund for my transportation costs and I can find no other details of who to contact or how to contact trip advisor. I am happy to remove this review if someone will get in touch to discuss compensation for my transport to and from the mountain.

I really enjoyed my first climbing and hiking experience ever up sugarloaf mountain, and even though it was my first time I felt very comfortable as Marcos was a fantastic guide. I would recommend this to anyone as it is very different and more exhilarating than just getting the cable car up the mountain. I will definitely be doing this again before I leave Rio!

This climb was an absolute highlight, and the people here helping us get to the peak were extremely informative, professional, and easy-going. Marco was one of the guide and he did such a great job. He made sure everyone was safe and was having a good time. He put the safety of everyone first and was focused on that the entire trip. He took the time to also take pictures of everyone, really to appreciate.

Thank you so much for such a fun and unexpected hike and climb! I signed up through Rio’s Digital Nomad’s WhatsApp group to hike and climb Pão de Açúcar. My friends told me that it was a super easy route up Morro da Urca first and then cable car up to Pão de Açúcar. Boy was I wrong! What our group did was hike and climb an unmarked trail up to the top of Pão de Açúcar! Once at the top, you use the cable car to descend to Morro da Urca. Finally, you hike down Morro da Urca on a marked path to the bottom. Although I wasn’t aware of what I was getting myself into, I thoroughly enjoyed it! And the best part was arriving at the top of Pão de Açúcar just before sunset. Marcos was a fantastic guide and really helped us through the climbing part. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

This hike is challenging but it's also amazing. It has a spot where you have to use ropes but Marcos is the perfect guide to help you out.

Marcos is a great guide and will look after you well. The hike is a really nice challenge and very rewarding. Bringing good and grippy shoes is very important.
