Experience the rich biodiversity of Rio de Janeiro up close. Your journey begins at the Botanical Garden (ticket-inclusive and non-inclusive options available), visiting the Sensory Garden, the Brazilwood (the national tree that Brazil is named after), Turtle Lake, and the pond with the giant-water-lilies. Stroll under two-century-old royal palm trees on your way to the orchid and bromeliad house.

Next, head to the Vista Chinesa lookout (excluded on Saturdays and Sundays due to vehicle restrictions) for a sweeping view of Rio. In the distance, the iconic silhouettes of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf can be seen. Continue to the Tijuca National Forest, one of the world’s largest city forests. Witness the Taunay Waterfall and take a gentle hike through the Atlantic Forest, learning about its unique wildlife and plant life. Finally, return to the vehicle and drive by the famous São Conrado beach to watch hang gliders and paragliders, before concluding the tour with a scenic drive back to your hotel.
