RIO DE JANEIRO VOTED ONE OF THE BEST HIKING DESTIONATIONS IN THE WORLD

The city of Rio de Janeiro is world-renowned as the “Marvelous City,” sparking interest from international tourists and even Brazilians from all corners of the country. Our metropolis boasts significant tourism potential, catering to various segments of this activity, such as: cultural tourism, religious tourism, health and wellness tourism, sports tourism, leisure and recreation tourism, event tourism, educational/pedagogical tourism, gastronomic tourism, and business tourism.

When people think of tourism in Rio de Janeiro, the following tourist attractions usually come to mind: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach, Lapa Rio de Janeiro, Santa Teresa, Botanical Garden, Parque Lage, Pedra da Gávea, Pedra Bonita, Tijuca Forest, Maracanã Stadium, Escadaria Selarón, Lapa, Museum of Tomorrow, among others. We also can’t forget the best Carnival in the world and one of the best New Year’s Eve parties in the world.

If all that wasn’t enough to highlight Rio de Janeiro as one of the most incredible tourist destinations in the world, our metropolis was elected one of the world’s best hiking destinations. It won the “The Best City Breaks for Hikers” category, standing out as the top urban destination for hikers in a competition held by the platform SportsShoes (specializing in hiking tips and products).

This title represents international recognition, as it was chosen from among 180 of the world’s most popular destinations. The evaluators considered the number of trails available around each city, the average rating given to them by users, and the total number of reviews received for these routes on AllTrails (a global community for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts, a social network and comprehensive guide for people interested in nature adventures, whether walking, running, cycling or even practicing snow sports).

Here’s the English translation, framed from the perspective of a tourism professional and ecotourism enthusiast:

As a tourism professional, co-founder of Xperiencer Tour Brazil, and a lover of ecotourism and adventure tourism, I’d like to share some reasons that motivate people to explore hiking trails:

  • Greater connection with nature.

  • Engaging in physical activity to improve endurance, motor coordination, balance, aid weight loss, and strengthen bones.

  • Reducing stress and combating depression.

  • Overcoming physical and mental limits.

  • Exploring nature, discovering new places, geological formations, local flora and fauna, waterfalls, and other secrets of the natural world.

  • Admiring spectacular views, which offer unforgettable landscapes and unique opportunities for photos and videos.

  • Meeting new people who share an interest in nature and strengthening social bonds with loved ones.

  • An opportunity to practice “active meditation” while the body is in motion.

Trilha Pedra Bonita

I believe numerous factors make Rio de Janeiro an unparalleled setting for hiking enthusiasts, for example:

  • The existence of Tijuca National Park, the world’s largest replanted urban forest, right in the heart of the city.
  • The unmatched beauty of the city’s natural attractions and iconic views of the urban landscapes.
  • There’s no need to leave the metropolitan area, and the trails are easily accessible by public or private transport.
  • A diversity of difficulty levels that include hiking options for beginners to experienced hikers.
  • The proximity to visit some tourist attractions, like Corcovado, by means of trails.
  • The possibility of discovering historical sites such as ruins and even old roads.
  • Our city’s climate allows for hiking in all seasons of the year.
  • The presence of qualified professionals (guides) to lead people through the trails.
  • Accessible for people of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • The existence of visitor centers, signage, and park rangers at strategic points on the vast majority of trails.
  • The possibility of integrating people with disabilities on several trails in Rio de Janeiro.

To ensure an unforgettable experience, it’s essential to follow some safety tips, such as:

  • Always go with someone, especially on more challenging trails.
  • Hire the services of specialized and certified guides for your greater safety.
  • If you decide to go alone, inform someone about the trail location, the date, and the start and end times of your activity.
  • Choose a trail that matches your physical conditioning to respect your limitations.
  • In case of rain, the ground can become slippery, making movement difficult and potentially causing accidents during the hike. In certain high-altitude locations, there might be lightning strikes during rainfall, so it’s crucial to check the weather forecast before leaving home.
  • For safety reasons, it’s essential to obey the signage along the trail.
  • Wear light, comfortable clothing and appropriate hiking shoes.
  • Bring water, sunscreen, insect repellent, light snacks, and a small first-aid kit.
  • Never leave your trash in nature.
