if hiking, the walk is quite steep and would take about 30 minutes - proper shoes and a bottle of water are highly recommended.

when relying on local taxis, it is important to set up a return trip in advance, as it could be difficult to find a taxi at the mirante of parque de cidade.

taxis stop at the final point of the bus line, just two stops past praça rádio amador and from this area this would be the best way to both reach the top by taxi, and arrange for a trip back.
