The 9 Secluded Beach Hikes in Rio de Janeiro That Earn Their Price

1.Telégrafo Rock & Prainha Beach – easy hike and stunning views

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $71.55Our pick

Sunrise hike to Pedra do Telegrafo, then Prainha coconut water and more Rio beach stops. Small-group guide, easy effort, big views.

“This was such an amazing experience!! It was about a mile walk up and a mile back down . It is a challenge but definitely worth it !! Our guide was soooo nice ! Please keep in mind it is a hike before the hike and you have the option to get a bike ride to the entrance for 15 Brazilian reels. I’m so glad I did because I probably wouldn’t have made it to the top nor the beginning of the hike . I’m so glad I did it! Such a beautiful sight”

The hike was fascinating, with incredible views over the city, and the beach time was wonderfully relaxing. Gustavo made the whole experience both fun and insightful.
