Very popular climb among the locals. Actually always preceded by the Rua Alice (because, unlike most approaching roads, it has no cobblestones). No doubt the climb is also very popular because it is a bit less steep than some other of Rio's well-known climbs. On the other hand, the climb is then very long. The climb only really starts you can say from the moment you enter a narrow cobbled street. The cobblestones only last 150 metres, after which the road winds its way up through the jungle... read more

Very popular climb among the locals. Actually always preceded by the Rua Alice (because, unlike most approaching roads, it has no cobblestones). No doubt the climb is also very popular because it is a bit less steep than some other of Rio's well-known climbs. On the other hand, the climb is then very long. The climb only really starts you can say from the moment you enter a narrow cobbled street. The cobblestones only last 150 metres, after which the road winds its way up through the jungle with the occasional beautiful view as a reward. Especially the view from the Mirante do Brócolis on Cristo Redentor is worth stepping off and taking a photo. The top of Sumaré can be seen from far and wide through the aerials.

Erg populaire beklimming onder de locals. Eigenlijk altijd voorafgegaan door de Rua Alice (want deze heeft in tegenstelling tot de meeste aanlopende wegen geen kasseien). De klim is allicht ook erg populair omdat deze wat minder steil is dan sommige andere van de bekende beklimmingen van Rio. Daarentegen is de klim dan wel weer erg lang. De klim begint pas echt kan je zeggen vanaf het moment dat je een smal kasseistraatje inslaat. De kasseien duren slechts 150 meter, waarna de weg zich al slingerend een weg omhoog baant door de jungle met af en toe een fraai uitzicht als beloning. Vooral het uitzicht vanaf het Mirante do Brócolis op Cristo Redentor is de moeite waard om toch even af te stappen en een foto te nemen. De top van Sumaré is al van heinde en ver te zien door de antennes.
