Great Experience - While visiting Rio, I decided to sign up for this adventure. It was well worth it! The hike was great (keep in mind, I live in Colorado and hike often, it may be a bit intense for the average person) and rappel was very exciting. My guide Michel had great communication and was friendly. Highlight recommend this experience!

Hiking and Rappelling Adventure at Tijuca Forest National Park - It was a misty and rainy day but the guide made me feel safe and at ease. I was a bit scared for the repelling part as I have never done it before, but the guide was with me every step of the way and made me feel at ease. I must commend Guilherme for being so knowledgeable about nature and dedicated to his work. He made the experience worth while. Keep up the good work
