★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a more difficult trail, blue square (based on IMBA Trail Difficulty Rating System). It is not recommend during rain or the day after. Descent may be more challenging for some knees, but there is an option to buy a cable car ticket for the descent leg only. Trail takes you to Morro da Urca with some great views of the bay and the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Access through Cláudio Coutinho trail, that is very nice of its own and offers breathtaking views for the less physically inclined.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a really nice hike. It starts next to the beach (in one of the safest areas of Rio, due to being surrounded by lots of military buildings), and then it's a decent 40 minute hike up to the top.
You go through the trees, but the majority of the hike is on steps, so nothing too wild.
You may see monkeys along the way, which are super cute, but they're not a natural species, so you're advised not to feed them.
The exit closes at 18:00, and the sun goes down at 17:20 (now, in July), so plan your descent accordingly. Going down the trail in the dark is not much fun, even with a torch. If in doubt, take the cable car down (costs around R$30 or £7)
The view from the top of the hike is spectacular, and well worth.
Enjoy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definitely one of the top attractions in Rio. 360 degree views of the city. Food and drinks available at the top :) if you have time take the helicopter ride from the mountain.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this little trail. It’s the best way to get up Urca. Very peaceful and relatively easy. The climb can take between 20 and 40 minutes depending on fitness levels and the views from the summit are incredible!
