About this experience
Costa Mountain is the hallmark of the neighboring town of Niteroi near Rio. Together, we will reach it by public transport and head to the top of the ancient monolith. The climb is easy and takes no more than half an hour. As a reward for our efforts, we will get luxurious views of Rio and the Atlantic Ocean. And then we will relax on the clean, peaceful, and very picturesque Itaipu beach.
