Dangerously bad, avoid!

Didi_L, Oct 2025

Rio Eco Trip was a horrible tour operator. The information they provided in advance was unclear, the gear was of poor quality (our tent was leaking badly), but most importantly the guide was incompetent. He didn't quite know the way to the entrance of the park. His equipment and shoes were bad, his backpack huge and he was clearly struggling with the hike. He kept trailing behind us moving slowly. He did not act as a guide, but as a friend. He was not knowledgeable about the weather or the environment. He did not take initiative to discuss the hike / plan or the (deteriorating) weather with us at any point. In the second morning we walked to a rock feature near camp with him, in heavy winds. Then he just disappeared. We searched for him for 15 min before returning to camp, he was there eating, having left without any notice. Since the weather was getting bad (heavy winds, mist, and a lot of rain expected), and our tent was leaking already in light rain, we decided to abort the crossing and backtrack on the second day. By the time we were back in town, our guide was limping (due to his bad shoes and some rain, he had many blisters at this point). We doubt he could have completed the full crossing. The entire service was incredibly amateurish. The guide did not see any problem. He thought he was able to guide this remote mountain trail because he does walking tours in Copacabana where he sings Bossa Nova. Going with him as inexperienced hikers is dangerous, avoid! There is always a danger with these tracks. A guide should provide safety, he made our trek less safe. Bonus: he was not able to pitch his own tent, and kept losing / forgetting his water bottles. Ridiculous experience.

O mal tempo impossibilitou de voces continuarem em segurança e o guia agiu certo em retornar no segundo dia. A travessia é feita em uma altitude media de 2000m e o tempo pode mudar repentinamente colocando-os em risco. A restituição de pagamento foi feita e todos voltaram bem, isso que importa.

Hike, great views, good guide, climbing

morten_b, Jul 2022

An absolute great hike, Hard and quite difficult, with a great variation of views and a great variation in fauna and animal life. Guided by Thalles, who was an excellent guide, taking good Care of us, providing us good guidance, storys about the area and making us good food.
