Amazing experience, great guide - Henry was a great guide through our hike through Vidigal and the dois irmãos. The hike itself is easy to moderate difficulty with sufficient rest breaks. Henry made it enjoyable with his humour and interesting facts about the trail, Rio and the favelas. The view at sunset is just incredible and worth the hike.

Rodrigo is THEE best person for this trip!! - Rodrigo was THE best person to do this with. I’ve NEVER done a hike in my life and this was difficult but he was very understanding and nurturing without the whole thing. I walked right above him for 90% of the trip and I was literally out of breath for part of the trip (literally the last 5mins of it! ) but he didn’t let me give up and was so helpful throughout. All I say is forget: - water (you’ll need it. TRUST ME!!) - mosquito spray - maybe a jumper or when you’re up there coz it gets a lil chilly - up to 40reais in cash - it’s not an easy hike (kinda like an advanced/immediate level) but it’s so worth it

Great view worth the climb - Anderson and Ricardo were very knowledgeable about the area and great guides. Would recommend. Fairly steep walk so advise good footwear and reasonable fitness. If doing the sunset or sunrise walk a torch would be useful but light from my phone was fine. Trip up to start of trail is a 4 min ride on the back of a motorbike. My boys loved that. The view from the top is worth the climb. We took the metro to Antero de Quental and then walked along the coast about 30mins to Praca do Vidigal where our guides met us.

Beautiful scenes from above - Really great hike with Henry and Anderson! The weathers been so-so in Rio at the moment but we definitely got lucky! I did the sunrise hike and we were the first ones there so got the best spots! I’d recommend bringing a flash light it’s really dark during the sunrise hike. 10/10 recommend this hike and this tour with Henry & Anderson

Well worth the visit - Ricardo was so amazing, genuinely interested in what we had to say and getting to know us. He was also reassuring with the safety side of things and funny! We had a lot of laughs despite the clouds at the top. It could have been very anti-climatic experience once at the top had he not been our tout guide!

Dois Irmãos Hike - Had a great time. The hike itself isn't too challenging, but it isn't a walk in the park either. We enjoyed great views along the way and enjoyed the sunset. We took a van on our way up the favela and motorcycles on the way down. An additional R$ 20 (~ USD$ 3.5) per person are requested in advance to pay for transportation from the place you meet the guide to the point where the hike actually starts. Although Google Maps doesn't show a walking path to the meeting point, you can actually walk from Leblon. It's a 20 minutes walk give or take.

Favela tour done due to weather conditions - We didn’t get to do this trip as the weather forecast wasn’t good but were offered 2 alternatives by Henry and we chose to do the favela tour. It’s eye opening and interesting, not enjoyable but a learning experience which we will remember. Nice guys on the tour and communication was good.
