Climb to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain

About this activity
Itinerary

The hike starts at the foot of Sugarloaf and then swings around the backside of the mountain to begin a steep yet technically simple ascent up a well-traveled trail that offers both great views and the exciting feeling of exposure that comes with rock climbing. These first few hundred meters involve some sections of unroped scrambling that can be challenging for people with a serious fear of heights, but that are safe and your guide will help talk you through. About half way up the mountain there is a short 15 meter pitch of more technical climbing, that although is not considered difficult, does require the use of a rope and safety harness. This is a great chance for those interested in learning more about rock climbing to get a feel for the sport without having to commit to anything too extreme.

We will then pack up our equipment and continue our push to the summit. Along the way we will stop to enjoy several views only available to those that climb, such as the famous “Philosopher’s Stone”. The summit is also stunning and offers great options for food and drinks. To get down, we take the cable car down to Morro da Urca and then a 15 minute trail to our initial starting point.
