Skip the gridlocked city traffic and the crowded tour buses. Just 40 minutes from Rio's famous beaches lies a protected UNESCO World Heritage wilderness where the dense jungle canopy blocks out the city chaos. This is a paced, small-group journey designed to show you Rio’s wild side without the crowds. - Experience raw power: Stand at the base of Cascatinha Taunay - a roaring 115-foot cascade and the tallest waterfall in the park (no swimming allowed). - Explore a National Record: Venture inside the historic Bat Grotto, the largest gneiss cave formation in Brazil. - Postcard views with no crowds - Get sweeping, frame-perfect views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana, Ipanema & Rio skyline. - No experience needed: hike 1.2–3.1 miles (2–5 km) on safe, shaded trails at a comfortable, relaxed group pace, suitable for most fitness levels. - Includes round-trip transfer in a comfortable AC vehicle. Group sizes strictly capped for an intimate experience.
