Description

This mountain has many different routes that are all lots of fun and have great views of the city.
Routes no longer than 160 meters. Its a very traditional crag in Rio. Easy to get there using subway. There are more than 40 routes, varying from wide chimineys to multi-pitch strong sport climb and cracks on gear.

Getting There

Located right in Zona Sul, it's an easy approach via foot from the subway or a taxi. Cantagalo is located next to the Lagoa Rodrigo Freitas and divides the neighborhoods of Ipanema and Copacabana. The approach trail starts at the end of the Presidente Alfonso Lopes street in the Lagoa neighborhood.

At the cul de sac you'll see a green gate. Go up and through the gate, follow the trail to the right and you'll see stairs to get to the wall.
