The RioLive trip to Pão de Azúcar was great and very interactive from the moment we started in the school house until we returned. We hiked the first towards the Morro da Urca where the trail was a bit challenging due to some parts being wet from previous rains but the exercise and natural interaction was great. This means to wear confortable shoes and be aware of your surroundings. It was good that we did the trail as then we continued to the top of the morro to enjoy the wonderful Rio view in many angles. We then took the teleferico towards the Paõ de Azúcar where we continued to enjoy the view, the semi cold weather. Overall a amazing trail, great view from each location, very safe, interactive immersion for students.

We made it to the top of Sugar Loaf this afternoon. Despite all self-doubt feelings, we succeeded to reach the top after hiking the trail. It worked in our favour and at the end we are elated to have undertaken such activity. Along the way we chatted, laughed and overcame hurdles.
