Very pleasant walk may be connected with the trail up to Urca Mountain, which takes only 25 min. to the top.
A relatively short trekking on the footsteps of the sugar loaf and in the midst of luxuriant nature and wildlife, a perfect complement for your almost mandatory visit to the sugar loaf
Beautifull view and ambience. Lots of green and ocean. May see monkeys (micos). One of the best options for an "unstressing" walk and if you want more, can hike up Morro da Urca in about 25min.
If you enjoy going for a run, do reserve the time to go there. The place is safe and offer great views. This track is right at the bottom of the sugar loaf mountain, and one can see small monkeys and birds right by the track.
I had a wonderful experience in this city and i must say i really love what i saw ther and im thinking of going back there once again
A tarmaced trail the width of a road. Not quite the back to nature walk I was expecting but there plenty of fabulous little monkeys and some interesting birds to be seen.
If you are in Rio do not miss it! Perfect views of Rio and the Bay in a trail full of small monkeys and birds, besides the tourists, of course.Problem is to park the car, it is better to take a cab or maybe a bus(?). You can combine this visit with the SugarLoaf visit!
Since it only opened to the public in the late 80s (87, I think), I hadn't been to the place until I started working within walking distance of it.It is one of the best free sight-seeings Rio has to offer.The only drawback is the marks with the lenght of the track, which overstate it, giving it twice its actual lenght, as I found out once I went there for a run.
is litle but very beautifull , is very near from the Urca beach . only pedestrians , you can go by car or bus .
Great place to go and enjoy one of the most beautiful scenery in the city. Mixed crowd, safe, nice from sunrise to sunset (access is free, but they close the access during the night). From Zona Sul, catch bus 511 (BRS2) to Urca and get off at Praia Vermelha (same to visit the Sugar Loaf - Pao de Acucar).
