Pedra da Gávea

Pedra da Gávea (844m) is often described locally as one of the largest coastal monoliths in the world. Located within the Tijuca National Park, it represents the most technical trekking challenge within Rio de Janeiro's city limits. The trail ascends through a secondary-growth Atlantic Forest corridor, culminating in the 'Carrasqueira'—a 30-meter high-angle scramble that requires hand-use and stable footing. The summit provides a 360-degree topographical overview of the South Zone (Ipanema/Leblon) and the Barra da Tijuca coastline.

Guided glacier trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier is a specialized activity within Los Glaciares National Park. The glacier, covering approximately 250 square kilometers, is one of the few advancing ice masses in the Patagonian Andes. Access to the ice surface is strictly regulated and conducted via two primary excursion formats: the 'Minitrekking' (introductory) and the 'Big Ice' (extended exploration). Participants navigate a dynamic landscape of crevasses, moulins, and ice ridges using technical equipment under professional supervision. The experience provides a direct perspective on glacial movement and the hydrological processes of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
