Best way to experience Corcovado - Last day in Rio, I wanted to go up Corcovado hiking, but with a group not going solo, glad I found Rio Natural. Easy to communicate with Daniel to get details. Paulo was a great guide, very knowledgeable and easy going. It took us 4 hrs total roundtrip from the trail head in Parque Lage: 2 hrs up, 1 at Corcovado, 1 going down. It’s a lush jungle, 3 small water falls, we saw monkeys. I would say it’s medium in intensity. We started at 8:30am and saw only 2 people in the trail (so good to be with a group), coming down at noon the trail was a bit busier with many small groups going up. Highly recommended!

Hike up and back down Corcovado with Paulo - I hiked up with Paulo. He was fantastic - he pointed out monkeys, birds and lizards along the way. Hiking is the best way to get to Corcovado avoiding crowds. Beautiful forest. Paulo was also an expert at weaving around all the people at Christo Redentor and took some excellent pictures. Highly recommend Paulo and Rio Natural.

The journey was better than the destination! - Me and my partner were lucky enough to have Harry as our guide for the hike to Christ The Redeemer. He was very informative and good fun to hike with, couldn't have asked for a better trip. We were so lucky to see so much wildlife along the way and Harry explained so much to us about the animals and nature.

Best Hike in Rio!! - This hike was legendary and our guide, Paulo M., is a legend! Paulo was very entertaining and informative. He knew about all of the wildlife we witnessed and took time to point things out. He’s also a great story teller and photographer!
The hike itself was stunning from start to finish! When you finally reach the Statue, you’re in complete awe and immediately forget that you’d been hiking at all. It’s surreal!
I highly recommend this tour!
