We had a blast! Weber was amazing and he was fluent in English, which made the whole experience better because he was able to provide us additional information about Brazil and the Rio de Janiero area. I would definitely recommend this experience.

We did the Sugar Loaf Hike on a weekend - the views were beautiful, and the hike up is a great way to see Rio and wonder a bit off the beaten track.

"Tijuca's Peak hike + Tijuca National Park with RioXtreme"

Attraction Review – RioXtreme – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – by Daniel B November 18, 2019

We had an incredible experience hiking up Tijuca’s Peak! The trail is a shaded route through the rain forest for most of the hike, before finishing the last bit of the hike in an open area that provides incredible views of Rio and the surrounding areas. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and set a perfect pace for the hike. We’d highly recommend!

Weber was great and took good care of us the whole time! He knew what he was doing and was great to talk to while we hiked/climbed. His English was great! The hike was beautiful despite there being a large cloud over the top of Sugar Loaf. Very adventurous and rewarding. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an alternate way to get up Sugar Loaf.

"Dois Irmãos and Favela Tour with RioXtreme"

Attraction Review – RioXtreme – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – by daverjenk July 09, 2019

What an amazing Day. Our tour guide Paola was amazing: fun, informative and drove like an absolute champ! Ordinarily we would organize our own hiking tours but since the trail started at the top of a favela and is extremely hard to find the entrance, we opted to purchase a tour. It had rained a bit in the early morning so the trail was a bit slick. The trail itself is fairly narrow with some spiked fern plants you have to watch out for. It is fairly steep but it isn’t a long trail and the view from the top was absolutely worth it! Impossible to take a bad pick! Great time and a great tour.

"Pedra da Gavea Hike Tour - (Gavea Stone) with RioXtreme"

Attraction Review – RioXtreme – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – by Marc L March 10, 2019

Definitively a "must do" when in Rio, if you like magnificent sceneries, lush tropical forest, and coping with a personal physical challenge! It is essential to do that trip with a guide, and the one who accompanied us, Duda, was definitively the most gentle person, extremely professional and always ready to tell us where to put our feet and hands in the most challenging spots.
