Great experience - Fantastic experience hiking up to Christ the Redeemer. Paulo was an excellent guide. The hike is steep and intense but worth it.

A great way to see some of Rio’s most iconic sites - A moderately challenging hike that delivers the true essence of the Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes World Heritage site. I took this hike from Parque Lage up Corcavado Mountain to Christ the Redeemer with guide Thalles, who was great. All the excursion details were perfectly handled but it was Thalles’s knowledge of Rio’s history, culture & biodiversity that was the most impressive. Also, as a native English speaker with not much Portuguese, I was also blown away by Thalles’ bilingual skills — from street slang to conservation technique, his English vocabulary is PhD level. Oh, and great Carnival tips! Highly recommended.

Best way to experience Corcovado - Last day in Rio, I wanted to go up Corcovado hiking, but with a group not going solo, glad I found Rio Natural. Easy to communicate with Daniel to get details. Paulo was a great guide, very knowledgeable and easy going. It took us 4 hrs total roundtrip from the trail head in Parque Lage: 2 hrs up, 1 at Corcovado, 1 going down. It’s a lush jungle, 3 small water falls, we saw monkeys. I would say it’s medium in intensity. We started at 8:30am and saw only 2 people in the trail (so good to be with a group), coming down at noon the trail was a bit busier with many small groups going up. Highly recommended!

Hike up and back down Corcovado with Paulo - I hiked up with Paulo. He was fantastic - he pointed out monkeys, birds and lizards along the way. Hiking is the best way to get to Corcovado avoiding crowds. Beautiful forest. Paulo was also an expert at weaving around all the people at Christo Redentor and took some excellent pictures. Highly recommend Paulo and Rio Natural.

Beautiful hike - Very nice hike up to the Christ on the Corcovado! We were able to see some toucans and the beautiful nature that the mountain has to offer. Jalmir is a great guide and was able to answer all questions about the environment around us, thanks again

The journey was better than the destination! - Me and my partner were lucky enough to have Harry as our guide for the hike to Christ The Redeemer. He was very informative and good fun to hike with, couldn't have asked for a better trip. We were so lucky to see so much wildlife along the way and Harry explained so much to us about the animals and nature.
