Once in a lifetime experience! - Hard to describe the climb. It was, in equal parts, exhilarating, frightening, and remarkable. Physically demanding but a truly incredibly experience. Take shoes that have a proper grip for rock climbing, running shoes/sneakers will not help you. Our guide, Luis, was unbelievably patient and helpful. A genuine life experience

Unforgettable Sugarloaf Hike – Highly Recommend! - My husband and I recently hiked Sugarloaf via the steep route/easy climb, so it involves some rock climbing. As first-time climbers, we weren’t sure what to expect, but our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, highly trained, and always making sure we felt safe and confident. His guidance allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without worry. One of the best parts was that we had stunning views for most of the hike, making every step even more rewarding. Reaching the summit right at sunset was the perfect finale—the sky lit up in breathtaking colors, making the already incredible view even more magical. The entire experience was invigorating, and we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure. If you’re considering this hike, don’t hesitate—100% worth. Also I do have a fear of heights and was just careful not to look down for the rock climbing part. I was fine!

Fab experience! - An amazing experience that was only made possible by my amazing guide Marius! The climb was a little scarier than I expected, but Marius kept me calm and helped guide me up. We took our time to appreciate the views and I learned about the Brazilian culture and other interesting facts along the way. A great sense of accomplishment when you reach the top - would really recommend to anyone looking for an adventure in Rio

Don’t miss out on this! - Marius was amazing, he made me feel so safe the whole hike and was fun to be around. Incredible views, a must do if you can - much better and more worthwhile experience than taking the gondola up so a crazy crowded tourist area!

Sugar Bread Belt - Amazing! - I never dreamed of climbing, but the Sunday experience was amazing! Nature and its exuberance adore me. Challenging me to seek peace, seeking connection with the earth has been a flame that moved me. All I have to do is thank @tocorime.tour for all support, for the mega inspiring chat and explanations about all the stages of the beautiful adventure I lived.

LIVE , LOVE , CLIMB with Marius! - Fun little challenging hike! My wife and I had such a great time experiencing the true beauty of Sugar Loaf mountain away from the crowds. What made it even better was our amazing guide Marius! We quickly felt very comfortable with him and are happy to say we finished the experience with a new friend. Would HIGHLY recommend this hike to challenge yourself, enjoy the beautiful views and get OFF the beaten path! Make sure to ask Marius about the Philosophers Stone!

Highlighting Guide in RJ - Marius is not just a Guide, he is a true host! In addition to the technical knowledge on the track, he cared about ensuring everyone felt comfortable and safe. His tips on the best spot for photos and local stories made the journey even more special. The trail was challenging and Marius made it also very fun. I will definitely go on other trails with him again!"
