Nature day with flora and fauna - Love nature. I saw a lot of variety of trees and plants. Also a couple of cute animals during the hike. Lucas is a good tour guide and good photographer too. He knows where to hike and very much experience with the hike and where to take a good pictures spot. Keep on looking after all of us. Overall I did enjoy the tour and hike. Highly recommended.

This is a MUST DO while in Rio - This excursion absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was the only one on the tour and my tour guide, Thales, was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable of the region and it’s inhabitants (he was quick to point out an animals in the forest to make sure I didn’t miss any of them) and very well suited for the hiking. Thales extended the time and distance of the hike upon discovering my affinity for exorcist and more difficult levels of hiking so that we could make it to the top of Pico da Tijuca. The views of surrounding Rio were just incredible. The waterfalls included on the hike were just beautiful, particularly Cachoeira das Almas (waterfall of the souls). This tour an amazing experience, and one of my favorites from my time in Rio, and Thales is an exceptional guide! I would recommend this to anyone who travels to Rio.

Wonderful morning in the Tijuca Jungle - 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.

Nature walk - The morning started with us riding in an open Jeep along the streets of Rio, once we got to the Tijuca National Park it was awesome as we stopped for picture taking and views of the numerous waterfalls, at one of the waterfalls we saw persons dresses in all white so we asked our guide what they were doing and he told us that they were performing a spiritual ritual, the hike that we went on we were able to see a number of trees, birds and waterfalls the most amazing part was the freshness of the air. We left the park feeling refreshed.
