5.00While visiting Rio, I decided to sign up for this adventure. It was well worth it! The hike was great (keep in mind, I live in Colorado and hike often, it may be a bit intense for the average person) and rappel was very exciting. My guide Michel had great communication and was friendly. Highlight recommend this experience!

5.00It was a misty and rainy day but the guide made me feel safe and at ease. I was a bit scared for the repelling part as I have never done it before, but the guide was with me every step of the way and made me feel at ease. I must commend Guilherme for being so knowledgeable about nature and dedicated to his work. He made the experience worth while. Keep up the good work
