Things to do in Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Outdoor Activities

November 15, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Carioca in love with extreme sports and action for over 30 years, I know secret and little explored points of the city. In search of a new life purpose, I left the corporate world, reinvented myself to live this lifestyle and today I want to share moments and make many friends, sharing experiences and multiplying knowledge.

Trilha da Pedra da Gavea

Reviewed By devecchibarbara

3 hours hike but worth it! Always check the weather before and go early because the place has a lot of stones (small and big ones to climb) and become slippery. Have in mind that if you want to go until the end (after carrasqueira) you will need proper equipment to climb it, so hire a guide. Apparently during weekends a guy stay by the “carrasqueira” charging R$50 to help people climb and use his equipment. The view is beautiful btw!

HikeinRio

Hike in Rio was created four years ago with the intention of showing Rio de Janeiro "off the beaten track". But show it in a different way. We take pleasure in sharing the natural beauties of our city, through outdoor walks, hikes and in this way connect the traveler with nature. We want to transmit our passion and make our visitors feel touched, by seeing, feeling, listening and perceiving the beauties of our landscapes. We create experiences where there is a real interaction with the place visited. When you are on vacation visiting a new place, you want to see what that place has the most beautiful, most striking, and we offer this possibility, along with the inevitable sense of well-being that physical activity provides. There is no better combination and that's what we have to offer, with kindness and positive energy. Respecting your time and limits, so that you feel at ease and relaxed. Come and join us!
