Wonderful morning in the Tijuca Jungle

Stoyko_M, Jan 2024

We went on a hike with Rafael in the early morning and we liked the whole experience. Rafael has a good presence and energy that can guide you into the beauty of the jungle, he shared different interesting stories and facts and walking with him felt like being with an old friend. On top of that, he took great photos for us and we had enough time to make stops and enjoy nature. I will recommend the guided tour for everyone who would like to be guided in the Tijuca Jungle without the necessity of learning where to go on your own. It's pure bliss to enjoy without the need to know where are you going. I will definitely contact Rafael again for other trips, thank you.

Beautiful adventure with Sergio

Sergio is a fantastic tour guide! He allowed us to take our time at certain areas and provided so much information on the forest and Rios culture. It was an amazing adventure!
