The Top 50 places I've been to: #14 Pedra da Gávea, Rio de Janeiro - The Best Hike of My Life
This might well be one of the most memorable moments of my entire life. Standing on top of the world's highest free standing granite mountain with superb views of the whole Rio Bay area. Priceless.
But also hard work to get there. You need to pass several favelas, fend of monkeys throwing sticks at you and climb a vertical wall. As fine as travel can get :D
That's a collection of beautiful pictures! It almost looks like free solo climbing! :-) Did it get any steeper than in the third picture? How long does the hike take? Do you need a permit to get up there?

Thanks - no it doesn't get steeper than that - it's absolutely doable without safety rope.
No permit required. You can get detailed info here - https://www.backtotheroutes.com/hl_page/76/?gid=6&gn=Rio%20And%20Costa%20Verde&hid=33&hn=Rio%20de%20Janeiro
Thank you, that's amazing! Something to remember, when I finally get a chance to travel to Brazil!
It must be pretty humbling standing there on top enjoying the view. I love those moments when nature gives you some perspective. At the same time it must be a hugh contrast when you get back down into civilization and walk through the favelas.
Richtig gut! Resteemed ;) Funktioniert der Upvote Button gerade nicht?
Danke :-) - Hab auch Probleme und muss die Seite manchmal neu laden.
Extrem komisch, deinen Comment konnte ich zum Beispiel upvoten... Ich warte solange der upvote durch geht xD Richtig tolle Reisen hast du da hinter dir und weitere werden anscheinend folgen ;)
Ich hoffe ja :-)
Wow, what a view! You have to fight of monkeys, haha
Sounds like a real adventure to get up there...
The second picture looks a little bit dangerous ;)
It wasn't - really - I promise :-)
These have to be some of the best shots I've ever seen! Were you scared while scaling the rocks or is the angle of the camera that makes it look terrifying? I'm definitely going to be following more of your adventures, they're awesome!
Yeah - the camera angle made things more dramatic than they were ;)
looks incredible, it's 100% on my list. Overlooks are the best.
Richtig gute Idee mit den Top 50. Werde ich mir auch mal überlegen, ob ich ab Februar oder so damit anfange!
Echt gute Beiträge dabei! Schaue jetzt sicher häufiger vorbei:)
Looks so awesome! I love your first picture looks like you are going flying off the rock.
