ABOUT TIJUCA HIKING TOUR

TIJUCA HIKING TOUR
Explore the world’s largest urban rainforest on an unforgettable hiking adventure. This guided walking tour takes you through the heart of Tijuca National Park, offering close contact with nature, breathtaking views, and iconic landmarks — all while immersing yourself in the lush Atlantic Forest.
Instead of a jeep, lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails. This experience is perfect for nature lovers who want a more active and immersive way to explore one of Rio de Janeiro’s greatest natural treasures.
Discover the wonders of the Tijuca Forest on foot!
Your hiking journey begins with a hotel pickup in Rio and a scenic drive to the entrance of Tijuca National Park. From there, our expert guide will lead you along well-maintained trails, highlighting the park’s biodiversity, historical points, and hidden gems.
Along the way, you’ll visit:
-
Canoes Viewpoint – panoramic views over São Conrado and Pedra da Gávea
-
Taunay Waterfall – the park’s tallest and most iconic waterfall
-
Visitor´s Center – a place where you can explore the history of the Tijuca Forest
-
Baronesa / Diamantina Waterfalls – two charming, lesser-known waterfalls perfect for a break
-
Chinese Viewpoint – one of the most famous viewpoints in Rio, with a spectacular view of the city and coastline (not available during weekends)
- Optional trails to caves, rivers, and observation points, depending on group fitness and preference
Animals such as toucans, monkeys, and coatis are often spotted during the hike — so keep your camera ready!
