Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Pedra do Telegrafo, Rua Almirante Carlos Tinoco 432 500 Barra de Guaratiba, Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro 23020-260 Brazil

To start the day, our private guide picks you up at your place and drive to the beginning of the trail about 1:20 away from the main part of Rio, in the West area of it. Since It’s a distant place with a large flow of visitors, it’s essential to start the Pedra do Telégrafo trail very early to avoid long lines and waits for the famous pictures on it.

We then go uphill towards to Telegraph Stone which is a rather steep trail, but nothing that needs to be climbed. The trail has a length of 1,5 km and lasts around 50 minutes at a normal pace. 

Looking at the horizon and enjoying a little bit of Rio de Janeiro leaves your energies renewed and your eyes enchanted. Too worth the visit!

The scenery over the sandbank fills the eyes, seeing the mangrove with its islets of abundant vegetation and beach views as far as the eye can see. (Lunch is not included in the tour price)
