I had to reschedule due to the park suffering from a weather incident the previous day. The tour company rebooked me for two days later without any issues. Eric was the guide and he was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Tijucas plant and animal life and always happy to answer your questions + take photos. The tour itself was interesting. The walk through the park is not too difficult but the path can get slippery. The cave was definitely the highlight! Did see some monkeys on the was back from the Vista. Pick up was on time and the driver drive well. Would recommend for a good half day tour of Rio. Five stars to Eric!

Great introduction to Tijuca Forest. Our guide Lucas was very knowledgeable about the plants ans animals there, so he made the trip really enjoyable ! Unfortunately for us, we didn't see many wildlife there, but the cave and waterfall made it worthwhile !

Victor was a great tour guide, assisting each person to navigate any tricky bits on the trail. He explained lots about the forest environment and the plants and animals living there. Pace was good. Gave recommendations for lunch spots near each persons drop-off point. Highly recommended.
