Hiking Pedra Bonita

Pedra Bonita is one of Rio de Janeiro's most popular hikes - and for good reason. The views afforded by this granite monolith are some of the best in the city, and since Pedra Bonita is also home to the city's paraglider/hang glider launch ramp, the summit can be accessed relatively easily
