No regrets! Go ahead and book it! - Go ahead and book it! Our experience was fantastic! We got picked up from our Airbnb and dropped off! You’re getting a jeep tour of Tijuca but you’re also technically getting a sightseeing tour of the city on your way to Tijuca, it’s very beautiful. Our tour guide was so informative and even allowed us to get off at a couple stops and take a walk around to see the waterfalls and other places. 10/10

Definitely worth the time and money! - An excellent tour! Our guide Silva was sensational. He had a wealth of information at every stop and gave equal time to passengers speaking different languages. We saw monkeys, waterfalls, and hiked through a jungle trail. There were several beautiful mountain views of the city, and it was just a bonus that the open-air jeep was a terrific way to take in more of the city to and from the Tijuca forest. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
