We started the hike around 4 in the morning in order to make it to the top of the viewpoint by sunrise,We got there a little bit early so there was time to relax a little bit before the sun started to come up.I’ve never seen the city of Rio from this angle before In my life it looked amazing!As the sun rose it reflected a red and pink color across the lake on the other side of the beach which is actually shaped like a heart, one of nature’s fun little tricks it likes to play I guess. But no the less it was beautiful.
Looking for the best, safest tour guide in Rio? Look no further. I met Henry while visiting Rio in December of 2020, and booked him for at least 7 days over a 3 week period. We spent time in the favelas, visited a few parties, and I ate dinner at his house with his friends/family. He's an authentic, safe, brilliant man, that has a lot to offer his guests. I would highly recommend you book him for your Brazil adventure. It will be unforgettable!!! If you would like to see video of our adventures, visit YouTube and type in "Chris Must List". Thank you!
Encontrei Experience Rio através do instagram que principalmente faz passeios no Vidigal. Henry me levou até o trilha Dois Irmãos
e depois desceu pela rua 25 dentro dos becos. Almoço também feito pela Thais (esposa dele), feijoada com couve, farofa, arroz etorresmo...ah e claro tinha cerveja gelada!! Mt obrigado Henry e Thais!
