@travelwithyulan: the most challenging hike in Rio 🇧🇷🥾 everything you need to know about hiking Pedra da Gávea: — while the trail isn’t that long distance-wise, the elevation gain is about 754 meters over 2.65km which makes it the most difficult in the city. most people take about 2.5 to 3 hours to reach the peak. — the tricky part comes at Carrasqueira, the climbing portion of the trail. you can do this without the ropes but if you’ve never been rock climbing before or just want extra security, you should definitely use the safety gear. if you fall, it’s not going to be pretty. — the view at the top is one of the most incredible views in the city. make sure to take lots of photos but be careful when standing close to the edges since it’s a straight drop down. — make sure to bring tons of water, sunscreen, snacks and a backpack that’s big enough to carry everything when you need to be hands-free. — start the hike as early as you can. the park opens at 8am and we were the first group to walk in. majority of our climb was in the shade, which made things a lot easier. — you can do this solo! the path is marked well and I’ve heard you can pay guides at Carrasqueira to use their safety gear. I would not recommend climbing without gear by yourself unless you really know what you’re doing. — don’t let anything you see online scare you out of doing this hike. it’s difficult, but I think it’s doable for a lot of people. the views are absolutely worth it! #travel #solotravel #riodejaneiro #brazil #creatorsearchinsights
