Description

One of the most visited sections of the trail marks the eastern end of the Transcarioca, in one of the most incredible postcards of the city. Accessible, free, short, and beautiful, it is perfect for a family outing. From Praia Vermelha to the top of Morro da Urca, passing by the Cláudio Coutinho track. Recently, the trail underwent an environmental recovery process, receiving new steps and the planting of native trees. Along the way, viewpoints gradually reveal a breathtaking landscape. Morro da Urca offers a panoramic view of 360º, encompassing the Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer, Botafogo Cove, Guanabara Bay, the beaches of Botafogo and Flamengo, Morro da Babilônia, the city center, Niterói and its ocean beaches, and in the background, the Serra dos Órgãos National Park, with the peak “Dedo de Deus” standing out on the horizon on clear sky days. The trail is free, but the cable car rides are paid. Check the website bondinho.com.br for more information.

Minha primeira trilha, considero básica, pra quem nunca praticou é um pouco tenso, porém, é o primeiro passo pra quem quer se tornar um trilheiro. sinalizado, caminho sem dificuldades, mais ou menos uns 40 min pra chegar na Urca, excelente experiência!!!
