Lonely Planet review

Everyone loves this paved 2km trail winding along the southern contour of Morro do Urca. It's a lush treed area, with the waves crashing on the rocks below. Look out for families of capuchin monkeys with their gray fur, striped tails and tiny faces. About 300m along the path, there's a small unmarked trail leading off the path to Morro da Urca. From there you can go up to Pão de Açúcar by cable car, saving a few reais . Pão de Açúcar can also be climbed - but it's not recommended without climbing gear.
