Wonderful - Wonderful tour with Silva. Great energy and very knowledgeable. You have to have good health because this hike is not for people with poor health/not fit. Would definitely recommend to people who love nature and hiking!

Jeep tour in Tijuca! - We had SO much fun on this excursion! Was our last day in Rio and couldn’t have chosen a better way to end our trip. Our guide (also the owner) was friendly and funny and informative. Plus the ride through the city to get to the park was a bonus! Swimming at the waterfall also a highlight. Highly recommend.

There's Wild Country just minutes above the city - Sylva is a sensitive and engaging guide with a great sense of humor. Not a bad driver either. Our trip took us to several water features, great views, monkeys and tapirs and giant trees while learning about the National Park's flora and fauna. Brazil must have been a paradise when the forest covered the entire Atlantic Coast, and this trip helps us imagine those days.

Breathtaking waterfall - The tour started with a very nice welcoming greeting and a great smile. It’s an interesting part of the city where you can see urban life blending in with the forest. You go up to 450m above sea level and have a breathtaking view from many different angles of the city. You can smell the forest, it is surrounded by jackfruit trees, and then head to the waterfalls. The first waterfall is not that impressive but after doing a 10 minutes hiking in the forest you’ll face an amazing pool of natural water running from the waterfall. You’ll climb a few rocks to go to another pool which is extremely worth seeing it. Silva is a helpful guide and knowledgeable with good recommendations and great English level.

Fun at Tijuca park - Interesting, fun and insightful tour of Tijuca park. Silva, our guide, was absolutely amazing and authentic. It was very obvious that he has love and personal ties/experiences in the forest and he transferred a lot of his knowledge about the history and the culture over to us.I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys nature and is interested in learning about the ecosystem of a rainforest and the history of Tijuca.

Whatever they say, extreme precautions must be taken. There's a lot looking for lives even in national parks and extreme poverty and - Do not go alone or with a partner, you must go in a group and prepared for everything.
In my trip I went up with 3 Frenchmen but on the way down I went ahead because they were slower Without realizing it, halfway through I got a guy asking me for my phone in bad ways and money. He started screaming and in two seconds he pulled the knife out, tried to threaten me. I told him he didn't try to nail me but I don't know how I took his arm and forgemas without falling to the ground which is what the very animal wanted. I started shouting help, help, thieves (in English and Spanish) and scadually 3 lords and one of them came up. tried to get closer, but he instantly turned to him, then the rest of us started screaming like crazy and the robber escaped in the brush. Infinite scare and I don’t know how I react like this, but in mobile nowadays we carry everything. It worked out fine, but I gambled my life, I was stupid.
