Lonely Planet review for Pista Cláudio Coutinho
A paved 2km path, Pista Cláudio Coutinho winds along the southern contour of Morro da Urca. It’s a lush area, shaded by trees, with the waves crashing on the rocks below. Keep an eye out for families of small micos – capuchin monkeys with ringed tails. About 300m along the path, there’s a small unmarked trail that leads up to Morro da Urca. Pão de Açúcar can also be climbed – but it’s not recommended without climbing gear.
