Excellent experience, brilliant guide
An unbelievable experience. Roderigo was a knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating guide who led the activity brilliantly from start to finish and took excellent photos. The hike itself was great fun with multiple stops along the way for rest and views. The top was simply spectacular with fantastic views over Rio. I will do this activity again with Roderigo when I return to Rio. Great experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Conor! It was a real pleasure having you on the hike. I’m very happy you enjoyed the different stops, the views and the photos. I really appreciate your kind words and I’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back to Rio for another adventure! All the best! 🤙

Fantastic hike
This tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish! Our guide, Rodrigo, was the best - friendly, informative, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He was very accommodating and we hiked at a pace suitable to our abilities. We began with an exciting motorcycle journey through the Vidagal favela before starting the Two Brothers hike, and the ride itself was also fantastic. The views from the different viewpoints and from the top of the Two Brothers were absolutely incredible and definitely the best in Rio. Rodrigo also shared great stories along the way, which made the experience even more memorable. We would 10/10 recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! It was a pleasure hiking with you both, and I’m really glad you enjoyed the whole experience, from the ride through Vidigal to the Two Brothers trail and all the viewpoints along the way. I truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again in Rio someday! 🙏🇧🇷

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset?
+
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 Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset 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 Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide. 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.
What is included in Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset?
+
Included: Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset?
+
Please meet your guide at the blue steps in Vidigal Square. Your guide will be waiting there to welcome you before the hike begins. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Two Brothers Hike in Rio - Sunrise or Sunset offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
