Pedro is a fantastic...

Hannah_B, Aug 2026

Pedro is a fantastic guide and knows exactly what to do to make the group get the most of their experience. We hiked up Pedra Bonita to the most stunning view - something that will stay with us forever. Pedro also suggested some other cool things to do in Rio, we took his advice and had a brilliant night out! Thanks Pedro.

Tijuca forest drive-through and short hike with knowledgeable guide Samuel

Jana_K, Feb 2026

Tijuca forest is one of the biggest urban forests in the world. We started our forest drive on Rio lookout, then we stopped at waterfall, then there was 1.5 hour hike finishing next to another waterfall. We should finish at Chinese house, but it is closed on Sundays. We managed to see capuchin monkeys from the far and Brazilian coati from up close. Our guide / driver Samuel was kind and very knowledgeable and told us a lot about Tijuca forest, but also about Rio city and life.
