Perfect experience for adventurers

This was exactly the experience that I was looking for while visiting Rio. Michael was a kind, knowledgeable and helpful guide. He took us through the neighborhood Cosme Velho and up into the Tijuca rainforest, giving us a different perspective of the area that is clearly underappreciated by tourists. He was very helpful and gracious with the other two people in the group, who had less experience writing. He was very communicative with me, as I wrote ahead more independently. And the equipment was in great condition, which is always something that I pay close attention to. Who is the ride NOT for? People in poor physical condition and/or those who do not do at least semi-regular exercise. People who don’t enjoy being outdoors. Most of this ride is climbing uphill, time-wise. So, it is important that you know yourself and read the description of the tour before making a decision on Purchasing this experience. However, it is something I 100% would recommend to my friends to share the same interest that I do.

Make sure you are fit 💪🏼 for riding 3 hours 🥵 The mountain bikes are as good as new and well maintained. Helmet is also provided. Michael is a great guide and the place is worth it!!!!!
