1,000% better than Dois Irmãos but its further away from the city. - I did this tour with four others, and it was perfect! We got picked up very early in the morning, did a light to moderate hike about 45mins, arrived with enough time to see the stars and a full transition from darkness to sun light. And the best part there was only four other tourists, so 8 total! Not 500 like Dois Irmãos.... such a peaceful vibe and beautiful views. The area is also really green and wild, and we went down to the beaches below for a quick swim afterwards which was amazing. Telegraph stone is such a great experience, I highly recommend you book this sunrise over two bros. Thank you Henry!

The itinerary was one of... - The itinerary was one of the greatest highlights of my trip to Rio. We started really early to comfortably get to our destination. After getting the, we had a relatively easy hike to the famous spot. We arrive perfectly so we could enjoy night sky with beautiful stars and city lights in the distance and watch how the colour of the sky brightens up. The sunrise itself was gorgeous and after that, our guide Henry got each and every one of us perfect photos on the site and even offered to edit them! After our hike back we went to the beach near the mountain and after that got back to Rio.

THE best sunrise in the city. Really something special to experience! - I did the sunrise hike at telegraph stone with Ricardo!! After seeing the sunset at two brothers, I wanted to see the sunrise somewhere. I thought between the red beach at Urca or the telegraph stone that I saw on IG. So I reached out after doing three tours with these guys, Ricardo took me on this experience with 2 others, a couple from Estonia. We were picked up at 220am! Yeah it is crazy early, I honestly thought Henry was joking, but nah he wasn't and Ricardo arrived at 215am haha. Apparently, this is because it's about fifty minutes outside of the city limits, the hike was 45mins and we wanted to get there early enough to be first and have a good transition from day to night. And we got exactly that, an incredible sunrise where no one else was with us, nobody! So we had plenty of time to take some sweet photos, enjoy the views and after we went to this beach called Grumari for maybe 25mins, which was hella refreshing and nice!! This hike is easier than two brothers (45mins), the issue is it's further away from the city so I had to get up so early. That made me really tired for the day, so maybe next time bring a towel or beach blanket to lay down while waiting for sunrise. By the time the sun rises, its so hot and you already start to see people arriving. I can only imagine what its like in a few hours time. 😜😵‍💫😂 We got back around 830am. I had Ricardo drop me off in Leblon because I wanted to try this breakfast spot called La Bicicleta, which ended up being perfect!
