Rio de Janeiro Trip Overview
The Telegraph Rock is distant from most districts of Rio and the private transport to the beginning of the hiking is a stand out.
Normally the Telegraph Rock is one of the most demanded places in Rio for hiking. For this reason we suggest to go early and watch the sunrise. Otherwise, we may wait for hours only to take that famous photo on the cliff (it isn’t an exageration).
However, we can set the activity to begin the time that better suits you and your group.
Overall, we wake up early into the dawn and go to the Telegraph Rock. After watching the sunrise and take fun and thrilling photos from the top of the cliff, we head to two wild beaches of Rio by car and enjoy the lush nature around them.
Another highlight is the return to the accomodation itself, when we pass by the seaside of Rio de Janeiro, appreciating amazing views.
To sum up, this activity envolves 2 hours hike (round trip) to Telegraph Rock, plus spare time in two different wild Beaches of Rio (Gumari and Prainha)
