Overview

Hike through Tijuca National Park's rainforest on a 6-hour eco-tour contemplating one of the most splendid views of Rio contrasting with the greatest urban forest in the world.

Accompanied by an expert guide, expect a trilling tour full of nature with waterfalls, springs, small lakes, viewpoints, and historic sites. Animals, particularly monkeys, coatis and birds, can be seen all around during walks in the lush landscape and falls.

The walking distance is about 7 km, return, is mostly in the shade, ranging from light to medium level of difficulty. The hiking time is about 4 hrs at a slow pace.

Visit the calm and beautiful waterfalls where we stop for bath and pictures. Bring swimming costumes along so that you can splash around.

We then continue on for more 10 min up to the scenic weir called “Açude da Solidão”. Take a break at the edge of it and enjoy snacks picnic style.

After having such an adventurous day, relax on the journey back to your hotel.

Activity itinerary

Vista Chinesa
  • 30m
Visit the Vista Chinesa monument which was built between 1902 and 1906 as a way to honour the Chinese, who brought tea cultivation to Brazil in the early 19th century. It has a privileged view of Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf Mountain, Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Ipanema and Leblon beaches, as well as Morro Dois Irmãos, and other Rio’s icons. People in search for the best angle causes a fierce dispute for a space, but what you see from Vista Chinesa compensates for the “push-push”.
Emperor's Table
  • 30m
With its privileged geographical position at an altitude, Emperor's Table offers one of the best landscapes in Rio de Janeiro. The place was widely used by Dom Pedro 2nd during the Empire. He constantly rested on the lookout during his walks through the Tijuca Forest, hence the name.
Cascatinha Taunay
  • 30m
Taunay waterfall is, without a doubt, the most beautiful of them all the falls inside the Tijuca Park. It is impossible to talk about Rio de Janeiro and its natural beauty without mentioning Cascatinha Taunay. First of all, this is the largest waterfall in the Tijuca National Park with its 35 metres high. In addition, it has an unparalleled scenic beauty, bringing together all the elements necessary to connect with nature. You will surely love the atmosphere of this place.
Recanto dos Pintores
  • 30m
A leisure tip to take a rest from the hike is the “Recanto dos Pintores” which is a space with excellent infrastructure to receive visitors with comfort and convenience. It has playground, ponds, bathrooms, water, picnic and barbecue areas.
Cascata Gabriela
  • 40m
Be dazzled by the beauty of the Gabriela waterfall located within Tijuca National Park. Bring swimming costumes along so that you can splash around.
Açude da Solidão
  • 1h
The most famous lake of the forest is named after a Baron who lost his son in the Paraguayan War and started to visit the place to isolate himself. Although with a melancholy history, the place is incredible and it is very worthwhile to stop by. You will find turtles, wild animals and lots of nature to understand why the Baron found the lake a wonderful haven of peace and tranquility! That’s where we spot by for a break and enjoy snacks picnic style.
Praia da Gávea
  • 20m
On the way back to your hotel, we should stop by at the beachside kiosks to sip a cold coconut water directly from the fruit, enjoy the beautiful landscape nature offers and watch the flights of paragliders and hang gliders taking off and overflying the area.
