The area is home to different small species of animals, such as squirrels, monkeys, porcupines, foxes and armadillos. Plus, a million different butterflies, birds, and reptiles. Just remember that they are wild animals, so you must keep your distance and never feed them. Enjoy the tropical rainforest and learn about its rich biodiversity. On the way, admire the Vista Chinesa belvedere, the Taunay waterfall and the Mayrink Chapel. Take a pause to see from a distance the monolithic Pedra da Gávea and the Christ the Redeemer statue.

Nice to see forest in its natural state and all the work that is being done to keep the eco alive and well. Our guide was extremely helpful and entertaining

An Afternoon in Rio's Green Wonderland

Published on Jan, 2025

If you think Rio de Janeiro is all about beaches, cable car rides, statues & the samba -- think again. The Botanical Garden & Tijuca Rainforest Tour is like stepping into a lush green wonderland where Mother Nature shows off some of her best work. Wear comfortable walking shoes or hop on a tram for extra $ to enjoy the huge Botanical Gardens. The Tijuca Rainforest has lush green vegetation throughout but we were not lucky spotting any wild life because it was a heavy fog/overcast day. Our guide Helio was very knowledgeable, friendly & entertaining which made the trip most enjoyable along with our excellent driver Daniel.

Best tour in Rio!

Published on Jun, 2024

The whole tour was great! Our tour guide Monica made sure to make it to every location despite not having enough time( we mistakenly made another tour reservation immediately after). She is so knowledgeable and answered every question with great depth. You can tell she loves what she does and it made the tour 100 times better. Park Tijuca, the botanical gardens, and park lage are wonderful spots and we felt like our trip was complete with this tour!

Great day

Published on May, 2024

I did a 1/2 day tour of Tijuca park with Monica. I found her to be friendly and had great knowledge of the park. She also took the time to go to a lesser known Mansion/Museum that many guides would have skipped. I would highly recommend this English tour.

Tijuca is an immense beautiful Forest

Published on Mar, 2024

This was a Jeep tour which was wonderful way to view the National Forest and Park, lots of walking and some of it on uneven ground so comfortable walking shoes a must. Absolutely dense forestation and amazing waterfalls flowing naturally through the mountains and forests. The history is very interesting although sadly they have lost all the panthers that used to reside in the Forest (not sure why but guessing hunted to extinction) our guide couldn’t help answer this question but stated last one seen in the seventies. Chinese temple is a link to the Chinese who came over from Macau when it was a Portuguese colony and they helped and worked in the National Forest. Lots of monkeys there but they were moving around fast so hard to capture them and I missed seeing any of the native birds on the trip but so much to see and walking through you appreciate the vastness of it all.
