Sunrise with the silhouette of the RJ in the background!
This view may not be as good as the two brothers hike, but it's way more peaceful and I really enjoyed that vibe. It's completely the opposite of being surrounded by a hundred plus people, just above the city. Here, we really went out to a natural reserve about an hour from the city where I was picked up. The hike was definitely easier and shorter, so that was a plus. Henry actually convinced me to join after doing Tijuca and Dois Irmãos with him and his group. So I was able to join up with three others for this hike at 430am. We were all provided with headlamps, pick up was at 330am, and we finished around 10am because we went to this amazing beach called Grumari after the hike. Definitely do this hike if you have time and want more peace / privacy.
Response from the operator: I'm so glad I was able to convince you to join 😅😂. I feel like it's a redemption after the unbelievably, chaotic, two brothers hike hahahaha. I believe it was only CRAZY busy because there was a holiday. And it's nice you saw the opposite side of the city, peaceful and full of beautiful beaches at Telegraph stone. Next time we gotta go ti Ilha Grande!

The itinerary was one of...
The itinerary was one of the greatest highlights of my trip to Rio. We started really early to comfortably get to our destination. After getting the, we had a relatively easy hike to the famous spot. We arrive perfectly so we could enjoy night sky with beautiful stars and city lights in the distance and watch how the colour of the sky brightens up. The sunrise itself was gorgeous and after that, our guide Henry got each and every one of us perfect photos on the site and even offered to edit them! After our hike back we went to the beach near the mountain and after that got back to Rio.
Response from the operator: Awesome!! Thank you so much for this incredible review, I hope that more people listen and join us for telegraph stone over two brothers for sunrise more often. Its far less busy, very chill and we can all go for a swim afterwards.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunrise Hike to Telegraph Stone with Beach Visit start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
