Small-group rainforest hike in Tijuca National Park with waterfall time for swimming, guided by pros who prioritize safety and conservation.
“We got a great feel for Toluca park and got to see lots of different parts of it. The highlight was exploring two different caves!”
Tijuca National Park tour from Rio. Walk rainforest trails to waterfalls and cave, with viewpoints, wildlife spotting, and hotel pickup.
“I had an amazing time exploring Tijuca National Park with our tour guide Sylvio! He was incredibly friendly and full of fascinating knowledge about the park's history, wildlife, and nature. The tour was beautiful and fun from start to finish-we even spotted a monkey, which was such a highlight! Sylvio made the whole experience unforgettable with his warm energy and passion for what he does. Highly recommend this tour if you want to discover the magic of Tijuca with a great guide!”
Rio rainforest hike in Tijuca National Park to Pedra Bonita. Small-group walk, summit views, and history with bilingual guides.
“The tour guides are very nice and well prepared!! Definitely recommend it!!”
Small-group Iguazú Falls day trip with hotel pickup, line skipping, train and boat access, plus Devil’s Throat views. Expect to get wet.
“The entire trip is packed with events. We did upper trail to get close to several waterfalls. The boat ride is an experience by itself as it took us into two waterfalls. The final act is taking a train ride to the devil’s throat. They said the water flow is only 1/3 of normal as Brazil is experiencing 7 months of drought but the devil’s throat is still very impressive. Couldn’t imagine what it looks like with 3x of water flow. Iguazu fall is simply a must see place.”
Explore Tijuca National Park, panoramic Vista Chinesa views, Mayrink Chapel, Taunay Waterfall, then Rio’s Botanical Garden on a guided half-day tour.
“Guide super gentil, visite sous la pluie donc un peu compliqué d’apprécier tout à sa juste valeur. Nous n’avons pas compris pourquoi l’entrée du jardin botanique n’est pas incluse dans l’activité mais à payer sur place. Peut-être l’inclure dans la réservation et la payer en amont”
Private full-day tour from Barreirinhas to Lençóis Maranhenses, with lagoon walks, local lunch, and a sunset ride back.
“Het was fantastisch! Zeer vlotte gids en een unieke dag beleefd met de beste begeleiding!”
Hike Tijuca National Park’s waterfalls and bat cave with a certified guide. Expect 6 to 12 km through Atlantic Forest.
“Thomas is friendly, very adaptable, and transmits his knowledge and passion for Tijuca and Rio de Janeiro.”
