Two Brothers with a Local Guide best sunrise and sunset in Rio

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: Portuguese and 1 more

This is much more than a hiking tour. It’s an opportunity to discover Rio de Janeiro through the eyes of someone who truly calls this place home.
I’m a local guide, born and raised in the Vidigal community, and I’ve been exploring this trail since I was a child. I know its paths, stories, hidden details, and the special connection this mountain has with the local community.

My goal is to offer travelers an experience that goes far beyond traditional tourism. I want to share a little of my personal story, introduce you to the natural beauty of the region, and show you Dois Irmãos Mountain from a more authentic perspective, highlighting the local culture and the richness of experiencing this place with someone who genuinely knows it.

My mission is simple: I want you to do more than just visit the two brothers hike. I want you to experience it through the eyes of a local, connect with its history, and take home a genuine piece of Rio de Janeiro.
