a variety of kiosks dot the path, so it is  easy to stop at any time for snacks and refreshments. 

as there is continuous a bicycle path connecting the two ends of leme and leblon, this hike can also be done running, via bike, or skate - not a hike per se anymore, but just as a fun way to spend the day.

leme' relaxed middle-class neighborhood offers a tranquil ending to the day - it is an easy and enjoyable 8 kilometer walk, and the length of time it takes depends on the amount of stops at the many shops and kiosks along the way.
