TIJUCA FOREST BY JEEP

One of the things that makes Rio de Janeiro so breathtaking is the lush greenery that surrounds the city. The Tijuca Forest plays a crucial role in maintaining this green landscape and protecting the city's water sources. As the largest urban replanted forest in the world, Tijuca is home to hundreds of species of plants and wildlife, making it a natural refuge in the midst of urban life.

*What You Will Discover in Tijuca Forest*

During our Tijuca Forest by Jeep tour, you’ll immerse yourself in the vibrant ecosystem of this remarkable rainforest. The forest offers an abundance of biodiversity, including toucans, monkeys, iguanas, and various other wildlife. You’ll visit iconic spots such as the stunning Taunay Waterfall, which cascades down nearly 30 meters, and the historic Vista Chinesa, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. You’ll also have the chance to stop at the Tijuca National Park Visitor Center, where you can learn more about the history and significance of this immense urban forest.

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

This tour isn’t just about the sights—it’s about the experience. Inspired by the beauty and scale of Tijuca, we knew that exploring this jungle needed to be more than just driving through it. That’s why we converted former military vehicles into comfortable, open-top jeeps that allow you to enjoy the full 360-degree experience of the rainforest. With the top down, you’ll feel completely immersed in the jungle, with the breeze in your face and panoramic views at every turn.
