What to expect

Experience Rio from above: forest, a waterfall, and the city's most iconic view

Leave the city's hustle and bustle behind and discover the tropical forest that lies within Rio. In a small group (maximum of 7 people) led by a local guide, you will hike through the Atlantic Forest, with the chance to spot wild animals along the way.

The reward awaits at the Superstar: from there, you can take in the city from above and come face-to-face with the imposing Pedra da Gávea, Christ the Redeemer, the Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers) peaks, and the entire South Zone of the city.

Next, visit Cascatinha Taunay the largest waterfall in Tijuca National Park, standing 35 meters tall—where you can cool off if you’d like.

To wrap things up, head to Vista Chinesa, the city’s most panoramic viewpoint, offering views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Lagoon (Lagoa), Ipanema, Leblon, and Guanabara Bay. It's like looking at a painting created by God.
