Pista Cláudio Coutinho


Pista Cláudio Coutinho is a free 1.25 km sea-and-forest walk and the access for the Morro da Urca trail.

Go in daylight with water. Trail and fort rules change; Riotur is orientation, not a climbing permit.

How to go

Metro to Botafogo, then a bus or registered ride toward Urca. VLT does not serve this corridor.
