This guided hike ventures into Tijuca National Park, one of the largest urban rainforests in the world, right in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Following trails through lush jungle, a guide points out waterfalls, caves, tropical plants and wildlife such as monkeys and colourful birds, while explaining the forest’s remarkable history of replanting. A refreshing escape from the city into cool, green wilderness, with rewarding viewpoints along the way, it is a wonderful way to experience Rio’s spectacular natural side and the nature on its doorstep.
