If you’re looking for a day outside Rio that combines adventure, breathtaking views, and a touch of queer freedom, this experience is for you.
Pedra do Telégrafo: Start Your Day With the Famous Cliff Photo
The perfect way to kick off this adventure is with the hike to Pedra do Telégrafo, one of the most Instagram-famous spots in Rio. The trail takes about 40–60 minutes uphill and is relatively easy, with shaded stretches through the Atlantic Forest.
At the top, you’ll find the iconic rock ledge that creates the illusion of hanging over a deadly cliff. In reality, it’s safe, but the photos look dramatic — making for an unforgettable memory of your trip. From the summit, you’ll also enjoy sweeping views of untouched beaches, green mountains, and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.
Abricó Beach: Relax, Nature, and a Queer-Friendly Vibe
After the hike, we head to Praia do Abricó, one of the most stunning and unique beaches in Rio. Known as the city’s only official nudist beach, Abricó combines natural beauty with a liberating atmosphere of body acceptance.
Here you can enjoy a well-deserved swim, grab a cold drink, and soak up the sun. The vibe is laid-back, inclusive, and LGBTQ+ friendly. And if you’re curious: yes, in the late afternoon the beach often turns into a discreet cruising hotspot, which adds another layer of freedom to the experience.
