We had a nice walk in the Tijuca Park. The pick-up and communication was very good.
Our guide, Fábio, knew alot about the botanic. And it was really interesting getting al this information about the trees, environment and animals that live in the area. We even got to see monkeys, a turtle and a lot more!
In the middle we did a small dip into some refreshing waters. Overall, it was a very nice morning!

I traveled with my 15 years-old son. This was one of the most memorable tours of Rio. We say racoons, beautiful waterfalls and a cave. I was surprised that we did both, waterfalls and a cave, as I was under the impression that we would do either one of those. I am glad we did both. Hiking to that cave was brutal, I am not sure elderly people can make it. I am 45 and I struggled, but it was well worth it. Magnificent feeling, cave is huge! I have never been inside caves before, with bats flying over your head. My son was impressed too. Waterfall is not the biggest in the world, but well worth visiting. Overall, we had a very good time.

This was one of the highlights of our vacation in Rio. A whole forest inside the city? Amazing.
The forest itself was beautiful and the stops were well planned. Samuel was a great guide—knowledgeable and patient, even with our 8-year-old son who does *not* want to be helped in any way.
I have to admit I was a bit intimidated by the instructions, but it was very manageable, and swimming in the waterfalls was magical.
Also the van pickup at our hotel was on time and we had strong communication throughout.

Best time! Our guide was great, definitely recommend. He picked us up and we headed to the Tijuca Park. Showed us around, gave us some history. The trail was easy to moderate. Stopped at a waterfall, then a really cool cave then the final waterfalls that we got to go into. Don’t think twice do it!
