Activity itinerary

Immerse yourself in the Atlantic Forest and experience the most enchanting side of Rio within Tijuca National Park—one of the largest urban forests in the world. In a small group (max. 7 people) accompanied by a local guide, you will hike through the forest while learning about its history, flora, and fauna. Visit Cascatinha Taunay, the park’s largest waterfall, standing 35 metres tall. Explore the "Bat’s Grotto" (Gruta do Morcego)—a cave in the heart of the forest that looks like a scene from an adventure film—and take a refreshing dip at the Baronesa waterfall. Conclude your tour at Vista Chinesa, the city’s most panoramic viewpoint, offering vistas of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Lagoon (Lagoa), Ipanema, Leblon, and Guanabara Bay. It is like gazing upon a painting by God, with the figure of Christ blessing the landscape. This is an off-the-beaten-path itinerary that promises unforgettable memories of Rio—a city defined by its beaches, sun, sea, and mountains, all centred around our "green heart." We provide hotel pickup (within our designated service area). Please wear closed-toe trainers and lightweight clothing; remember to bring insect repellent and water. You may also encounter local wildlife, though sightings cannot be guaranteed—they depend on the day, the animals' routines, and their natural habits. The itinerary is flexible; your guide will assess the group’s profile and pace, as well as the conditions of the day.
