Amazing experience! - Lucas was an incredible guide. He took us through the forest, telling us about many interesting facts about trees and animals of the forest. He also told us about the history and traditions of the people. His narrative was so interesting that it even maintained my 9 yr old son's attention throughout the tour. He is very knowledgeable, his true love for nature definitely shows. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a taste of Brazilian forest without having to go too far from the city. Thank you Lucas for a memorable experience!!

Marriage proposal in nature - I have nothing but praise for Hikeinrio! From the beginning, Alessandra's service was excellent, she answered all my doubts. Our tour was done with the help of the guide Lucas and it couldn't be better! I chose this itinerary for a very special reason, to propose to my girlfriend in the middle of nature. Everything went well, with fundamental participation from Hikeinrio. Thank you so much guys! I will definitely do other itineraries.

A Beautiful and Fascinating Experience - The hike to the waterfalls and caves in Tijuca Forest was a beautiful and exciting experience! Alessandra has a genuine fascination and love for the forest and is excellent at sharing her passion with visitors, as she tells us about the natural and human history of the region. The views, wildlife and plant life were incredible, it was like a visit deep into the jungle and yet we were less than an hour from the center of Rio. Waterfall showers were delightful and the cave exploration was spectacular! I very highly recommend this tour!

Explore the amazing Tijuca forest with waterfalls and caves - The forest is amazing and such a good contrast with the old architecture of the original houses. Great hike with a good cool off in the waterfalls and exploring some caves. Super recommended.

never showed up. I waited there five hours later they told me sorry we had to cancel because of lack of participants. - I would give it zero reviews if I could. they never showed up at the meeting point. And they told me only five hours later into the trip time, but they had to cancel because they weren’t enough people. I have the email to prove it and obviously I received the full refund. I booked it this week in advance and they didn’t respond to any of my request for confirmations on WhatsApp, a few days before the excursion, as well as the night before, and the morning of. I woke up at 5 AM just to get there on time and I got there 30 minutes before the required time and waited an hour after but no one showed up. I ended up doing the trail on my own. they have a lot of nerve telling me five hours into the trip that they canceled because of lack of participants that’s just rude and considerate to my time. Don’t let them waste yours.

they never showed up and they had the audacity to text me five hours later and say it was canceled. 0 rating. - I would give it zero reviews if I could, they never showed up at the meeting point and they told me only five hours later that they had to cancel because not enough people showed up. I have the email to prove it. And I obviously got a full refund. I booked this a week in advance. They also didn’t respond to any confirmations whatsoever on WhatsApp. I contacted the guide three times before including the day before the trip. I woke up at 5 AM just to get to the meeting point on time, got there half an hour earlier and waited an hour, but nobody showed up. I decided to do the hike on my own, and I was fine on my own. That being said , five hours later I got an email saying sorry we couldn’t make it and we had to cancel the hike because we didn’t have enough participants.
