Hiking Tours in Rio de Janeiro

Walking tour in Rio de Janeiro Historical Center.

Best tour in the centre of Rio

After a lot of research I decided to do this tour in the centre of Rio with Carlos and it was definitely my best choice. Not only by the route that is very comprehensive in various tourist points in the center of the river, but also by the aggregate knowledge of the history and explanation of each point we passed. Added to this, the sympathy and calmness of Carlos who still helped me taking excellent photos, since I was traveling alone. I recommend this tour and thank you Carlos

Birdwatching tour to Tijuca National Park with Pica-pau Tours

A must-do excursion for bird-nerds

Ric was our first introduction to the city of Rio and he really set the standard! Quick in communication, friendly and very knowledgeable. After 30+ hours of flying and little sleep, we were completely awake and in awe of the birds he helped us to spot and identify on our first morning in Rio. Ric's vocalisations were seriously impressive, too, and you can tell that he has a respect for the birdlife in Rio. Ric was patient when we couldn't get our binoculars in the right spot to sight the tiny and fast fly eaters. Ric's laser pointer was super helpful in guiding us. We enjoyed the coffee he provided, guava cake and white pizza. On the drive back to our accommodation we recapped our favourite birds (nearly all of them!) and he later on sent an identification list on E-bird. Ric knows Tijuca National Park like the back of his hand and it was a truly wonderful day trip. If you're in to birds, book this tour NOW! I'm not much of a photographer, but I have added some photos I took during our excursion.

Adventure & History at Tijuca Forest (small group or private)

Amazing tour!

The guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the forest. I had a great time on the hike and going under a waterfall and visiting a viewpoint! Will recommend this tour to anyone who is seeking adventure :)
