We leave the hotel around 03:30/04:30 according to the time of the year. We drive aprox. 50 minutes to the beginning of the trail. We hike up the moderate trail for aprox 45/50 minutes to reach the top when the sun is rising. This way we avoid the usual long wait for pictures. On the return we stop at Grumari , Apricot and Prainha beaches to relax ,bath or just pictures. We're back to the hotel at noon.
