Itinerary

  • Parque Nacional da Tijuca

    After your guide picks you up from your hotel in Rio, hop in an open Jeep and buckle up for a fun ride! Drive to the edge of the cityscape and enter Tijuca Forest, located just 10 minutes from the city center. You’ll hear about the important reforestation program of Tijuca National Park and learn the importance of the Mata Atlântica ecosystem — part of the vast and protected Mata Biosphere Reserve, which covers 14 states in Brazil.

  • N/A

    Explore the Visitor Center to learn about local biodiversity.

    15 minutes

  • Cascatinha Taunay

    Walk to the crystal-clear and picturesque waterfalls of Cascatinha Taunay. You’ll find there’s no better way to experience the living rainforest and marvel at the wildlife to be found!

    10 minutes

  • Emperor's Table

    Enjoy the beautiful view of the city, as did the Royal family several times. It was at this table that Dom Pedro I, when he wanted a meal in the middle of one of the most beautiful views, would leave his residence at Quinta da Boa Vista and, with his cart, would head towards Estrada da Vista China. At an altitude of 487 meters above sea level, the Emperor's Table is set against stunning views of the city, counteracting urbanization and nature. Stairs surrounding the parapet of the area lead the tourist to the edge of a concrete ramp, making the tourist feel in the midst of a splendid setting.

    10 minutes

  • Capela Mayrink

    Take a short stop at this historical chapel. The little pink chapel in the middle of the woods, 460 meters above sea level, resembles a house of children's history. It was erected in 1860 by the Portuguese banker Viscount de Souto inside his farm, in Tijuca Forest. The Chapel is one of the attractions of Tijuca National Park. Adorn the altar reproductions of panels with holy images of Cândido Portinari. The gardens, as well as the Carrara marble and tiled patio tub with frowning spout, were designed by landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx.

    5 minutes

  • Chinese View

    Get a nice perspective from the Tijuca Rainforest. At Vista Chinesa (Chinese View), capture sweeping views of Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, Guanabara Bay and even as far as Niteroi. The lookout was built between 1902 and 1906. The oriental-style pagoda is a reference in honor of the Chinese who brought tea cultivation to Brazil in the early 19th century. Made of bamboo and cement, and situated 380 meters above sea level, it is an important tourist spot in the city.

Nice trip! Friendly guide and chauffeur. We had a great time! Picked up with the jeep en drove to the forrest.

A great experience!!

Published on Feb, 2025

The jeep arrived promptly at our hotel, considering the traffic. We drove through the city to reach the rainforest, and it was delightful to see the city so close. The open-top jeep allowed us to enjoy a wider view of the city. Our knowledgeable, informative, and friendly tour guide, whose name I unfortunately forgot, made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite her concerns about her English proficiency, we understood her perfectly. Upon arriving at the forest, we visited the Chinese viewpoint, the waterfall, and embarked on a short hike through the lush greenery. The highlight of the trip was witnessing monkeys munching on jackfruit high up in the trees. A few of them even showed curiosity by descending to observe our group, but we maintained a respectful distance and admired them from afar. Overall, it was an exceptional experience, and I highly recommend it. I would definitely go again!

A great history of the park flora

Published on Feb, 2025

The guide was a true expert on on plant life and the park history. I learned many facts I did not know. Well worth you time.
