5.00I really enjoyed my tour of Tijuca forest with Rodrigo. He is very knowledgeable and learning about the forest made the activity more interesting. We visited Pedra Bonita to enjoy great views all over the city and then went the waterfalls to cool off, which was a perfect way to end the tour. I got to see sagui monkeys up close which was incredible! He also took some great photos and drone footage of me. I would definitely book with this company again.
Amazing experience

He is a super attentive, fun and passionate guide for what he does. Adapted the route so that each walk was unique. In addition, sent us great videos as a souvenir. Unforgettable experience – I will indicate to all my friends!
