That's a big NO, especially if you care about the environment and sustainable tourism. Our groups are SMALL, no larger than 6/7 per tour. Perfect for the forest. Our guides are educated in wildlife and nature identification. Our vast knowledge of the parks history, plants, and tree species, allows for a complete understanding of what you are experiencing. We have an excellent route/ itinerary curtailed to perfection over multiple years doing this tour. From waterfalls to caves mixed with light to moderate hiking, and a plethora of incredible views all over the city. Our experience ensures you get the absolute best of the Tijuca Nation Park and we would love to have you along! Tamojunto. ❤️
