Overview

This half-day hiking tour takes place in Tijuca Forest National Park in Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest urban rainforests in the world. The guided hike covers approximately 3.5 kilometers on rough terrain with an elevation gain of 203 meters and lasts about two hours on foot. The total tour duration is around five hours, including transportation and stops. The main destination is Pedra Bonita, a 696-meter (2283-foot) high viewpoint that provides views of Rio’s coastline and Gavea Rock, a flat-topped mountain nearby. A licensed guide leads the group, sharing information about local plants and animals such as monkeys, quatis, and toucans that may be seen during the hike. Transportation is provided in a small vehicle that holds up to six people, with optional air conditioning. Pickup and drop-off occur at designated meeting points. The tour includes all fees, taxes, guide services, transportation, and insurance. Food, drinks, and pickups outside the designated areas are not included. The hike is rated easy to moderate and involves no technical climbing. Participants should be fit enough to complete the hike. The tour operates only under favorable weather conditions; if canceled due to bad weather, an alternative date or full refund is offered. Children under five are not recommended unless accompanied.
