Good Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Lots of fun and hits the highlights of the park and forest. Newton the guide was kind and very informative. Would recommend.

Good value for Money

Published on Feb, 2025

If you are concerned how much walking there might be, it's not massive and it's a nice break from the city centre. Good variation in what's seen. Alan our guide wasvery good.

More that meets the eye

Published on Jan, 2025

To get there from the ipanema or Copacabana beach, you can take a Bus, Taxi or Uber. For most of the trail it’s even and flat. In The center close to the main entrance there is a beautiful building, were most visitors take selfies plus there’s a cafe where you can take a break and enjoy a meal.

Both places are worth seeing. With the tour guide, you will see the key areas. You will also see three different types of monkeys and various types of birds. Make sure you use mosquito repellant; trust me on this!

Interesting afternoon
