The most beautiful climb of my life
The climb at Praia Vermelha was an amazing experience for beginners. After an easy walk along the Pista Cláudio Coutinho, we reached the base of Morro da Urca. The climb is moderate, with sections between 20 and 30 meters, and fully guided for safety. I felt excitement with every move, but always confident thanks to the experienced instructor. The view of Sugarloaf and Guanabara Bay was spectacular, a perfect reward.
