The
trail of Morro da
Urca that goes up to
the first cable car

is excellent for
those that are not
as accustomed to
longer hikes or that
are simply just
looking for a nice,
relaxed introduction
Rio’s trails and
forests.
It begins on
the beautiful
Claudio Countinho
walkway that’s has
a great view of Praia
Vermelha and the
Atlantic ocean.
We then take
a easy trail for no

forest al the way to
the cable car

take the cable car
up to the second
station.
