Getting started

Begin by boarding your round-trip transfers in Rio de Janeiro, traveling in air-conditioned transportation toward the Telegraph Stone trailhead. Meet your professional guide, who explains the plan for the guided 3.5 km Atlantic Forest hike and the terrain ahead. From the drop-off point, set off on foot toward the trail, leaving the city behind as you enter the forest.

What to expect

Telegraph Stone trail

This route follows approximately 3.5 km of trail surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, gradually ascending to one of Rio's most recognized viewpoints, Telegraph Rock. Along the way, the experience alternates between shaded forest paths and open natural viewpoints that reveal increasingly wide panoramas of the coast.

Features

  • A guided 3.5 km Atlantic Forest hike leads you through native vegetation and gradual elevation, with your expert guide setting the pace and pointing out the main natural viewpoints along the trail. The professional guide is present throughout to ensure you follow the safest route and get context on what you are seeing.
  • Round-trip transfers are included, so transportation between the city and the trailhead is taken care of for you. The journey uses round-trip air-conditioned transportation, allowing you to focus on the hike and the scenery rather than logistics.
  • Several stops at natural viewpoints break up the ascent and offer wide scenery overlooking the beaches of Perigoso, Meio, and Grumari as well as Pontal do Recreio. These pauses give you time to take photos and appreciate how the coastline opens up as you gain height.
  • On reaching the famous Telegraph Rock, you stop at Telegraph Rock for photos at the spot known for its optical illusion that creates dramatic images. From here, you look out over Barra da Tijuca, Pedra da Gávea, and Restinga da Marambaia, combining adventure, nature, and some of the most expansive views in the city.
