What to expect

Small group experience | Maximum of 7 participants | Local guide | Hotel transfer

Escape the crowds and discover the wild side of Rio de Janeiro in a small group experience in Tijuca National Park, one of the world's largest urban forests.

Walk through the trails of the exuberant Atlantic Forest, discover waterfalls, a natural cave and viewpoints with panoramic views, while learning more about the fauna, history, and tropical environment of Rio with a local guide.

With a maximum of 7 participants per group, you will have a more personal and relaxed way to explore the forest—with time to appreciate the surroundings, take photos, and discover a river that goes beyond traditional tourist attractions.

Wild animal sightings can happen along the route. Depending on the day and conditions, you may find capuchin monkeys, sloths, toucans, squirrels, and other native birds and animals in their natural habitat. The chances of observing the wildlife may be greater in the morning and on sunny days, but sightings are not guaranteed.
