You will visit the orchid greenhouse, home to over 500 species. As we wander, you'll encounter trees like the Pau Brasil, a symbolic and endangered species. The tour includes a guide to the Botanical Garden and entry. Once our visit concludes, we proceed to our Tijuca Forest Jeep Tour.
Jeep Tour to Tijuca Forest
This region forms part of the Atlantic Forest and was reforested in the 19th century to safeguard the springs that provided water to the city. Onboard a jeep, you will traverse the trails of the world's largest urban forest. Amidst lush vegetation, waterfalls, and breathtaking views, we pause at the Mirador Chino. This structure merges Asian and Brazilian elements, offering views of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Guanabara Bay. As we journey through the jungle, spotting monkeys, exotic birds, and perhaps even sloths is common. Our guide will assist in locating them and will explain the wildlife that inhabits this remarkable ecosystem. We conclude the tour with a brief stop at Pepino Beach, renowned as the landing site for hang-gliding flights from Pedra Bonita. The calming ocean view and the descent of paragliders offer a unique spectacle from this vantage point. After our excursion, we return to the vehicle for drop-off at hotels and tourist areas in Rio. From the tranquility of the Botanical Garden to the grandeur of the Tijuca Forest, this adventure is perfect for nature enthusiasts. Book now and immerse yourself in the natural splendor of Rio!
