Freguesia

Prepare for a guided jeep tour through one of the world's largest urban rainforests, just minutes from Rio de Janeiro. Explore the Tijuca Rainforest, home to waterfalls and diverse wildlife.

Ride in an open-top jeep through forest roads. Stop at landmarks like the Emperor’s Table, Mayrink Chapel, and Vista Chinesa. Learn about the history and reforestation efforts of this national park within the Atlantic Forest Biosphere.

Walk on easy trails with native plants and animals. Visit waterfalls such as Cascatinha Taunay and Cachoeira dos Macacos.

Hike to Tijuca Peak, the highest peak in Rio de Janeiro at 1,022 m (3,353 ft) above sea level. Start at the entrance of Tijuca National Park. Walk past a waterfall and follow the trail from Bom Retiro. Hike through the Atlantic Forest for about 1.5 hours to reach the top.

At the summit, see Rio's landmarks like Tijuca Forest, Maracanã Stadium, Guanabara Bay, and the coastline. This tour offers a great chance to hike and see the views over Rio de Janeiro.

Start your hike at Gavea Rock or Pedra da Gávea, standing 842 meters (2,763 feet) above Rio de Janeiro. A hotel pickup takes you to the trailhead, where a 2.5-hour hike begins through the Atlantic Forest to the peak.

The last part of the hike includes a 15-meter (49-foot) rock climb and trails along cliff edges, all of which are navigated safely. 

At the top, spend 30–40 minutes viewing Rio’s landmarks like Tijuca Forest, Christ the Redeemer, São Conrado Beach, Rocinha favela, and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. Descend the same trail back and enjoy a comfortable ride back to your hotel.
