It was an excellent activity. Our guide Felipe picked us up on time. He was very kind, patient and very willing to pick us up on time. When we arrived at the rock there were few people, which helped us not have to wait long for the photos. Thanks to Felipe for this good experience.

Al llegar a la piedra habían pocas personas, los cual ayudo a que no tuviéramos que esperar mucho por las fotos. Gracias a Felipe por esta buena experiencia. Translate this opinion into English.

EXCELENTE ACTIVIDAD!!!! Me encantó demasiado, es una experiencia buenísima! Se la recomiendo a todo el mundo, lo único es, que para subir hay que tener cierta resistencia física. El guía André muy simpático y muy bueno haciendo fotos. Translate this opinion into English.

El tour estuvo bien pero no nos llevaron a la segunda playa "Prainha"; solo nos dejaron todo el tiempo después del sendero en la playa "Grumari" y no se tuvo el tiempo de almuerzo que decía la descripción sino que nos llevaron directo de regreso a Rio. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was good but they did not take us to the second beach "Prainha"; They only left us all the time after the trail on the "Grumari" beach and we did not have the lunch time that the description said but they took us directly back to Rio. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad a pesar de que nos avisaron de que si no nos importaba de empezar a las 2:45 am en vez de a las 6:00am, fue todo un acierto. Fuimos los primeros en llegar , y el hacerlo de madrugada con frontales iluminados fue una experiencia chulísima. Por cierto, vimos el amanecer desde la roca. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity, despite the fact that they warned us that if we didn't mind starting at 2:45 am instead of 6:00 am, it was a success. We were the first to arrive, and doing it at dawn with illuminated fronts was a cool experience. By the way, we saw the sunrise from the rock. Opinion translated. Show original.
