Itinerary

  • Morro Dois Irmaos

    We'll visit the Penhasco Dois Irmãos Park, a cute nature park that is the limit between the beach area and the rainforest and mountains. You'll be a bit higher up with great views to Ipanema and Leblon beaches and also to Lagoon and Christ Redeemer. (there´s some walking but not hiking up the Dois Irmãos hills).

    20 minutes

  • Chinese View

    The Chinese View summit has one of the best views in Rio and is one of the very few places where you can see and capture Sugar Loaf and Christ Redeemer in the same frame. The scenic spot also has a pagoda built with chinese style to honor a group of chinese farmers who immigrated in the beginning of the 1900s.

    15 minutes

  • Cascatinha Taunay

    Taunay Waterfall is the highestin the Tijuca Forest National Park and really loved by locals. We'll stop close to the falls to admire its beauty, feel its drops and also visit an old bridge built in 1860 that is now mixed and composed with the tropical ranforest around. Amazing spot for pictures and to feel "inside the forest' and away from the city.

    15 minutes

  • Mirante das canoas

    Stopping by this summit, we'll be able to see Pedra da Gavea, the highest monolith close to the ocean in the world, and Pedra Bonita, the mountain where the hang-gliders take off. These 2 beautiful mountains are part of the amazing and unique Rio de Janeiro landscape and you'll have a very close angle view with the mountains, the forest and the ocean. After this attraction, we'll stop for a lunch break.

    15 minutes

  • Chico Mendes Ecological Park

    After the break for lunch, we'll visit Marapendi Park, a mangrove and lagoon area. On this park, we'll take a 10 min. walk (it´s flat terrain - no hiking up). On the lagoon, it´s possible to see capybaras and caimans and also some more wildliefe like birds, lizards and more. This stop reveals how much different the eco-systems can change within Rio limits.

    25 minutes

  • Prainha Beach

    Prainha is a small, protected and secluded beach on the West Zone of Rio, considered the best surfing spot in the city. It's very scenic, with rainforest, mountains and rocks all around. We'll have the chance to visit it, take some pictures and maybe drink some coconut water enjoying the lush of this area.

    20 minutes

  • Roncador Lookout

    Viewpoint on the West RIo, inside Prainha Nature Park with amazing view to the 'Sleeping Giant', the mountain rage of Rio that is also a local legend.

We are a group of 6 and Renata is our tour guide. She speaks English very well and she is fantastic. She is very charming and easy to talk. She took us to many different places. At each stop, she explained very well and she even brought a history map to tell us abut Brazil's history. The tour from 8 am to 5pm, we all really enjoyed the tour. I am strongly recommend Reneta for your tour guide, you will not regret to choose her and the jungle tour. Very worthest the money.

Beautiful nature

Published on Oct, 2024

A great day out with Renate and Thomas. They are both very friendly and knowledgeable about Rio and the plants and animals. It was so nice to see all the beautiful places that are close by. The day that I went, we were lucky enough to see a capybara up close as well as other animals and birds. They fitted in so much and it was always at a comfortable pace. I would definitely recommend to anyone that loves nature.

Rio eco secrets

Published on Aug, 2024

As a family group with 3 small children we had booked the Rio Eco Secrets tour. Discovering some off the track spots of Rio was wonderful. Our guide Tito made it an amazing experience sharing generously his knowledge and insights. Thank you very much for a fantastic day! We can truly recommend JungleMe if you want to explore Rio the other way.
