About this activity
Combine a moderate coastal hike to Telegraph Stone—a 354m clifftop viewpoint—with scenic beach time and lunch in Rio's western districts. This private tour includes hotel pickup, coastal drive commentary, and access to some of Rio's most dramatic ocean vistas paired with relaxed beachfront dining.
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 a seafood restaurant (not included) and spend some time beachfront eating appetizers and having delicious caipirinhas.
