5.00Impossible best experience! Raquel makes the experience extremely immersive, due to her knowledge of local history and nature, as well as all her charisma and care. I went with high expectations and they were exceeded. The guide is very professional, and cherishes respect and full coexistence with nature and with the historical points! The guided trail and all the translations, accompanied by Raquel, made me leave Rio de Janeiro with a tourist notion that I had not even come close in other occasions! Being accompanied by her is a guarantee of safety and that there will be no unwanted surprises. I recommend closed eyes.
Exceptional walk
