Hiring a private tour guide is not a luxury. It’s an expense that’s worth the cost. With a good guide, you will learn and see things that you would never find in a book or online! We add to this intinerary some of our favorite spots to visit in Rio but you can choose what to see!
The Tijuca Forest, or Floresta da Tijuca, is a magnificent tropical rainforest located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is one of the largest urban forests in the world, covering an area of approximately 32 square kilometers within the boundaries of the Tijuca National Park. Originally cleared for coffee plantations in the 19th century, the Tijuca Forest underwent a massive reforestation effort and was declared a national park in 1961. Today, it stands as a remarkable testament to environmental restoration and conservation.
