Breathtaking forest and waterfalls - We did this tour on a very rainy day in Rio but it was still amazing. The forest was alive! Unfortunately, probably because of the rain, we didn't see many animals but the vegetation and waterfalls were breathtaking. There are some steep uphills so keep that in mind if you struggle with mobility. Moderate fitness should be okay. Our guide, Rafael, was very helpful and is very passionate about the parks's biodiversity. If you love nature, this one is a must!

Enjoying nature in Rio - Loved the tour. Views were fantastic. Our guide Eduardo was super fun and friendly. Did a great job taking photos and locating monkeys for us to photo. Cave, waterfall and views were a nice mix of experiences for a half day tour

Nature is so close to Rio - definitely worth a trip. - I had a nice tour of the National Park near Rio. The pick up from the hotel was very convenient and we got to learn a lot about to forest and walk in the woods. We saw a sloth, and many other animals, including toucans in the distance, and took a “waterfall shower.”

Phenomenal tour with a fantastic guide. - Eduardo was AMAZING. He brought incredible energy, was supportive of all activity levels. He knew so much about wildlife and nature. The views and experience was something to remember and may be the highlight of my trip to Rio. The photos and videos he took were awesome. Would do it again.

Perfect half day tour - Eduardo was hysterical and the best photo taker ever! The park was beautiful and such a great intro to the history of the park and Rio’s ecosystem.

Lovely day - Eduardo was an excellent guide. Pointed out a snake and a sloth on the trip. I would say it’s more of a walk through the forest rather than a “hike” One steeper walk with steps to the bat cave that can be challenging with the humidity. But you can take plenty of breaks. 10/10
