Rodrigo is an excellent guide, very attentive and kind. He knows the trail very well, and he guided us safely and calmly. During the journey he told us about the historical and cultural aspects of Pedra da Gávea. I can only thank him for all his attention, concern for our well-being, and also for the best photos.

Amazing tour! Light/medium trail and amazing landscapes! Great experience... Rodrigo is a top 10 guy! I recommend it to everyone

What an incredible tour! The best view of Rio. The guide Rodrigo Indio was extremely kind and cautious throughout the tour, ensuring the safety of all members of the group.

Trip Advisor
The trail is already beautiful, but the view from the top of Pedra da Gávea is impressive! It's the best in Rio, challenging but worth it, you can see the whole of Rio, from Barra, Christ the Redeemer passing through Ipanema, Leblon to Pao de Açúcar if it's a nice day. (...)

The guide Rodrigo Cardoso is very attentive and made us feel very safe. In addition to showing us the most beautiful view of Rio de Janeiro, he gave us some cultural information about the city, gave us entertainment tips and took care of us all with a lot of patience and wisdom.

Trip Advisor
The trail is really difficult, but contrary to what I always heard, it doesn't have any risky points. Only more technical points, which with the help of the excellent guide Rodrigo Índio, we passed with a laugh. If you need a guide in RJ, I definitely recommend Índio.

The sunrise at Morro dos Dois Irmãos is the most beautiful view I have ever seen. It was the second trail I did with Rodrigo and he was super attentive and careful, as expected. In addition to being a guide, he is an excellent photographer and looks for the best angles for photos. It was great!

Trip Advisor
In addition to the place being beautiful and the experience of watching the sunrise from up there being incredible, Rodrigo was impeccable in guiding us, patient and at the same time directing us along the best possible itinerary. I recommend it with my eyes closed.

I and two other friends went to Morro Dois Irmãos with Rodrigo as our guide. It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

The experience of experiencing an intense trail is worth it as the reward of being on top of the rock is wonderful.

The Pedra da Gávea trail is amazing and being accompanied by the guide Rodrigo was very important to make this experience unforgettable! It just made me want to go back to Rio even more and do other trails and activities with Índio! I highly recommend it! 👏👏👏
