Active & outdoors in Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro offers a surprisingly diverse range of outdoor activities beyond its famous coastline. Rock climbers are drawn to routes at Agulha do Inhangá and the sport climbing crag CE2K, while summits such as Alto das Paineiras, Alto da Embratel, Alto do Pai Ricardo, Alto do Sá, Alto do Santiago, and Cadeirinha do Imperador reward hikers with expansive views over the city and its surrounding landscape. The Olympic Mountain Bike Centre provides dedicated trails for cyclists, and the Deodoro Aquatics Centre adds water-based options to the mix. Carrasqueira and Alto do Voo Livre round out a varied scene for outdoor enthusiasts.
