Itinerary
Get ready to experience one of Rio de Janeiro’s most unforgettable experiences: watching the sun rise or set off the Two Brothers Hill, with a breathtaking view, guided by a local resident. We will meet at the entrance of Vidigal, where you will be greeted by your Guide, a resident of the region, who knows every corner and shares stories and curiosities throughout the journey. We will climb part of the hill with a typical transportation of the community: a local motor taxi or van. It is an authentic and fast experience that takes us to the beginning of the trail. A moderate track of 1.5 km, in the middle of the Atlantic Forest, leads to the summit of Morro Dois Irmãos, at 533m altitude. During the journey, we will make stops to rest, take photos and enjoy the visual (we provide LATTERNS FOR ALL). Arriving at the summit, you will be presented with one of the most beautiful views of Rio, you can see: The banks of Ipanema and Leblon, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Cristo Redentor, Pedra da Gávea and much of the south-california area You will have time to relax, contemplate and record this unique moment. The Guide can take pictures for you and also give tips for the best angles.

I had an amazing moment with Jessie during the hike. It sure was hard one, probably one of the hardest I experienced lol, but definitely worth it ! The view at the end was mesmerizing and it’s among the things I prefered in Brazil
100% worthy! I had some issues finding my guide at the meeting point; however, I got support from the agency via Whatsapp until she reached me. The guide was very supportive; she took very good pictures. The trekking is good but the views at the top are astonishing! Be prepared for a quick motorcycle ride. The trail is basic with some parts a little inclined; nonetheless, some people might get short of breath. It definitely pays off waking up that early!
We had an amazing experience doing the sunrise hike! Our guide Jessie was great and made sure we felt safe the whole time. The sunrise and views were incredible, I’ve never seen anything like it!
We had the most amazing time. Everything was faultless, from the communication before and on the day, and to the hike itself. Our guide Jessie was brilliant, very knowledgeable and helpful whilst navigating the hike! The views were spectacular and I would wholeheartedly recommend booking with this company! Thank you!
Super friendly and very knowledgeable I’d definitely recommend to anyone wanting to do it
Alex and his team were great. Engaging for the entire group, and upfront friendly and professional. They even helped 2 people who werent originally part of tour navigate their way through it. Highly recommend.
The hike itself was hard but not too hard and worth it all in the end for the views of Rio. Our tour guide Alex was very funny and helped us along the way. Highly recommend this to all visiting Rio.
Jessy is a nice guide and the people of the group were very friendly😊
What a great experience! Alex, pur guide, was funny and entertaining! He was also a great photographer, which was a plus! The hike itself was more difficult that what we expected but with calm and the right shoes you can do it. Amazing view from the top!! Would definitely recommend 👌🏼
Thank you so much, Alex, for this amazing morning! I had such a great time. Thank you for your kindness, all the laughs, your hilarious videos, and your positive energy. It was a real pleasure spending time with you, and I really appreciate all the photos you shared. Thanks again for making this experience so memorable. I hope to see you again someday! 😎☀️🇧🇷
5/5. I enjoyed the hike at Two Brother Mountain. The hike is definitely a moderate activity, so make sure your legs and knees are good, and that your heart can manage cardio activity. We had Alex as our guide, he helped us on some of the slippery inclines, took our pictures. Once you reach the top, the view is so worth it. Definitely recommend.
I decided to do this hike and it was my very first hike. I didn’t realize how challenging it would be but my tour guide Alex was super amazing and supportive. The view of the sunrise was totally worth it
The tour was amazing and the views at the top were spectacular ! Thank you to our tour guide Jessie for looking after us 👏 👏
The tour was brilliant. Well organised and Jessie was very friendly.
Incredible experience. Marvin is friendly, helpful and handsome. Spectacular view on the top. Please be prepared and pack some water.
My mother and I had an amazing time the views were absolutely stunning and our tour guide Jessie was fantastic I highly recommend you do it
Amazing experience in Rio de Janeiro
Amazing experience and Jessie was a great guide! Worth getting up that early in the morning for this excursion. You get the best pictures with an unreal view of Rio
Amazing experience from start to finish. The guide Jessie was fantastic and took amazing photos the whole way up. The view from the top was insane. Well worth every penny and the early start.
The guide was super helpful getting us on top of dos irmaos, provided helpful tips and we were able to watch the sunrise from the first row. It was amazing, def would do it again.
Our experience with this agency was unacceptable from start to finish. We booked a Dois Irmãos guided tour specifically advertised as conducted in English, yet upon arrival we were casually informed that no English-speaking guide was available and that ours spoke only Spanish or Portuguese. This is not a minor inconvenience — it is a complete failure to deliver the core service we paid for. As a result, communication during the tour was extremely limited. The guide provided virtually no explanations, context, or insight, and contributed nothing beyond pointing out an obvious trail that is clearly marked and easy to follow independently. In practical terms, we paid a premium price for something we could have done alone for free. What is most concerning is the company’s attitude afterward. When I contacted them to request a refund for the service they failed to provide, they refused to take responsibility and instead blamed the situation on their inability to reach me by phone — despite having other obvious ways to contact me, such as email. This response shows a complete lack of professionalism and accountability. We deliberately chose this agency over cheaper alternatives because we expected reliability and quality. Instead, we didn’t even receive the most basic element promised. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere unless they are willing to risk paying more for less.
Be careful with this company. Very unprofessional. They said the hike was at 3am and they failed to message us and tell us about a time change at 2am. Better find another company.
This was such a beautiful hike!!! Our guide was really wonderful, and was very kind when my partner was struggling some with the pace. We definitely felt better doing it with a guide, and the views at the top were SO worth it.
Really great experience, our guide was punctual, communicated really well prior. I felt safe and a good environment. Overall really great experience, 10/10 would recommend.
The trip was fantastic! You made it extra special with the history telling of the favela etc. Highly recommend the trip and the guide.
Facu and Jesse were great hosts for our group. The sunrise hike was great with stellar views of Rio. It’s a moderate hike so wear shoes with good grip.
The guide never showed up and didn’t bother to call me until I reached out to her. Her excuse was that she couldn’t get an Uber on time, but that shouldn’t have stopped her from notifying me. Our meeting point was a favela at 3am. She knew this and still didn’t make an effort to notify us on time, which could have avoided us driving there.
I spent 1 week between Rio de Janerio and Ilha Grande and Rodrigo helped orangise 3 trips for me, all of which were amazing! In addition, he also provided recommendations on places to eat and visit too. I took a boat tour to gruta de acaia and sunrise hike to pico do papagaio whilst on Ilha grande. Both trips were very well organised and Rodrigos communication was perfect. I then did the sunrise hike to dois irmaos which was absolutely beautiful! If you need help with Rodrigo is the person to contact, he really is amazing.
An unforgettable end to our trip to Rio. Travelled from Scotland for a long weekend before our onward trip to Patagonia, and this was the highlight of our weekend. Yes it’s an early start, yes it’s a moderately tough 45min hike but it was well worth it. We had the pleasure of hiking with Rodrigo who is a local to Rio, but with exceptional English! A few things I wish I’d known before the trip. 1. There are plenty of Ubers in Copacabana at 3am, and they are very cheap. Also the roads are very quiet so you don’t need as much time to get anywhere. Our 28 minute estimate checked on Google maps the night before took 15 minutes from Copacabana. 2. The square where we meet is at the foot of the Favela, and even at this time of the morning it is busy, and felt safe. We had the tour of the Favela the day before and it was explained to us how the crime is very low here. I’ve felt more out of place in some European or US cities. There is also a couple of stands selling drinks and food. 3. The moto taxis are used across the Favela, depending on the numbers sometimes there are vans/mini buses. This was how we traveled with 10+ hikers. 4. If you are late it affects the rest of the hikers, we had a group arrive very late and were also slow on the hike, unprepared for the walk. There is time to do the hike at an easy pace and make the sunrise but if you are late and slow other hikers will push on, Rodrigo made sure he was checking on everyone and even with this we made it in perfect time for sunrise. 5. take a snack and water, obvious to us but do take something to eat and drink, we had a protein bar and water. 6. Spend less time on the stops on the way up, you see them better on the way down and have time to hear more about the area. Keep an eye out for Monkeys! 7. You do not need fancy footwear but we had hiking trainers that were much better as it can be a bit slippery. And that’s about it… if you are considering this tour and you are put off by the time of day, traveling through the Favela or anything else, do not worry, just book it! you will not regret this, Rodrigo is on hand the whole time, is excellent at taking pictures on the top including with his drone, and the views and scenery are amazing (wether dependent)
Thank Rodrigo for taking such good care of me. I walked really slowly, so I couldn’t keep up with the others, but it’s okay. When we reached the mountain, He took great care of me. It was a really good experience
Very challenging hike but the views are totally worth it. The hike was a little over a mile, up the mountain all the way. Our guide, Milena, was amazing. Everything was well organized.
I spent a whole week in Rio, and this hike was my absolute best experience. I was a little nervous before the motor ride, but it went quite well. The hike isn't easy, but it's well worth it. The view and sunset were simply fantastic. My guide was very good.
Best guide, special experience and amazing view, 100% recommend. Definitely worth the early morning. Good communication and support.
Rodrigo was an amazing guide during our experience. Despite being a large group, he made sure that we were all okay and enjoyed our time. He also took time to educate us on the surrounding favelas. The sunrise was also absolutely beautiful. I recommend booking this activity whenever you’re in Rio.
Very well done and the guide was helpful with the hike and arranging transport admission fee was reasonable flashlights were provided for the hike as well
One of the best hikes I’ve done. The views are amazing. Our tour guide make sure everyone was having a great time and explained the parts of the city wile we were getting up.
Very good, amazing experience! Good vibes, safe and fun! Rodrigo is fantastic and have amazing knowledge! Would recommend!
Wow! What an experience! The hike was a little tough if you are not in the best of shape but sooo worth it when you get to the top! Rodrigo and his brother were the best guides! They were always communicating with me and the rest of the group. Giving everyone information on whats around the area, asking if we needed assistance, etc. The view on top of the mountain is spectacular and worth all the sweat and suffering you go through going up lol! Definitely recommend this tour!
This hike was such a great experience! Amazing view, the tour guides were so sweet and attentive to everyone in our group. The hike itself is steep and can get pretty tiring but the view makes up for it. We loved it thank you for the experience! 100% recommend
This hike was an absolute blast – the people, the vibe, simply everything was perfect! Rodrigo, our guide, is such an open, friendly, and supportive person. He took time for everyone, had conversations with all of us, captured the best photos, and made sure we had by far the most amazing spot on the mountain. I can highly recommend this tour – every second was worth it, and the sunrise was a true goosebump moment. An experience you simply must have!
Amazing experience, will deffo recommend :) Took beautiful pictures too and were so patient and kind if your not an experienced hiker!
I booked with Rodrigo, he is very nice and makes sure everyone is safe and having a good time. The hike is really worth it since the view is stunning. I highly recommend it
We had an amazing time on our hike up to the top of Dois Irmãos. Jessie was very friendly, shared interesting information about the area, and took lots of photos for us. The hike itself is a very good workout and the views at the top make it very worthwhile. The ride on the back of the motorcycle to the trailhead is definitely exciting too. A great experience we will not forget!
Rodrigo bring me and my friends to see the best views of Rio, the most breathtaking sunrise, so glad that we chose to wake up at 3 to have this experience. Felt safe the whole way. highly recommended ☺️
We had an incredible time on today’s hike! The scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was so well-organized. Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic — super friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His explanations made the hike even more interesting and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves hiking or simply enjoys exploring nature. It’s an experience you won’t forget!
Rodrigo was very professional, great at taking our pictures, & overall made sure our experience was nothing short of amazing!
Great hike and beautiful sunrise spot. The organisation of the hike and whole experience is really good. Recommend to everyone to try during the Rio stay
Amazing experience! Highly recommended. The sunrise was amazing. On the way down we could also see some monkeys on the trees. It was super good
Milena was very nice and knew what she was doing. She took care of my family like it was her own. Made sure we were safe and gave us facts about what we were seeing on the way up. 100% recommend her.
