About this activity
Combine a rewarding medium-difficulty hike to Telegraph Stone (354m) with coastal scenery and beach relaxation on Rio's west side. This private full-day adventure includes hotel pickup, scenic coastal drives with photo stops, and lunch at a beachfront seafood restaurant—all designed to showcase Rio's dramatic landscapes in a single immersive experience.
Take a private hiking tour going to the Telegraph Stone combined with beach time at one of the most beautiful beaches in town.
Get picked up at your hotel and drive to the west area of the city of Rio. The route passes through Rio’s most famous beaches and winding roads laying beside the ocean while our guide comments about the wonderful landscapes, locations ideal for photo stops and contemplation.
Once there, hike 1,5km in 50 min each way, at a medium level of difficulty with slightly steep stretches and rough terrain, to the top with several viewpoints. From the top, Telegraph Stone is 354 m above sea level with a sweeping vista over the vastness of the valleys, lakes, mountains laying all beside the ocean.
After some time to walk around and take that famous photos at the tip of the cliff, we make the way back down.
We finish off with a fantastic lunch at seafood restaurant (not included) and spend sometime beachfront eating appetizers and having delicious caipirinhas.
