Probably not the climb that belongs in Rio's "must done"s list, yet the climb can be useful for those who don't want to cycle along the coastal cycling path from Botafogo/Copacabana towards Flamengo/Laranjeiras, but want to take a shortcut and make some extra altitude metres at the same time.

Nice hidden gem. Probably not the climb that belongs in Rio's "must done"s list, yet the climb can be useful for those who don't want to cycle along the coastal cycling path from Botafogo/Copacabana towards Flamengo/Laranjeiras, but want to take a shortcut and make some extra altitude metres at the same time. On this hill for once there is no community, but you cycle past big vilas. There is also a military base at the top, which makes cycling reasonably "safe" (as far as that is possible in Rio). At the top, don't forget to turn around for a great view of the Pão de Açúcar.
Leuke hidden gem. Allicht niet de klim die in het rijtje "must done"s hoort van Rio, toch kan de klim handig zijn voor wie eens niet vlak via het fietspad langs de kust van Botafogo/Copacabana richting Flamengo/Laranjeiras wil fietsen, maar een kortere doorsteek wil pakken en te gelijk wat extra hoogtemeters wil maken. Op deze heuvel ligt eens geen community, maar fiets je langs grote vilas. Op de top ligt ook nog eens een militaire basis, waardoor er redelijk "veilig" (voor zover dat kan in Rio) gefietst kan worden. Boven op de top niet vergeten je even om te draaien voor een prachtig uitzicht op de Pão de Açúcar.
