What to expect

We will meet at a pre-arranged point where you will receive your bicycle, make adjustments to it, and receive a tour briefing. We will then begin our ride, cycling through different areas of Barra da Tijuca, exploring this special neighborhood.

During the route, we will make strategic stops for photos, explanations about the region, and moments of rest. You will discover quieter beaches, preserved natural areas, and special spots that reveal a different side of Barra.

We will use a boat to enter and leave the island. We will also visit the region known as the Carioca Pantanal and the Carioca Venice by boat.
