I did the amazing trail in the Tijuca Forest with Rafael Cajá and I liked it so much that I came back a second time with my sisters! I recommend 100%! 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!
