The Tour

On this Tijuca Forest easy hike, in the main sector of the National Park, history and culture are all over us. You’ll get to know the most important attractions as the Taunay Waterfall (highest of the park), Job de Alcântara Bridge, built in 1860 (used as a location in the movie Hulk), the  Mayrink Chapel (built in 1850), and the Visitors’ Center. Our team will lead you in a 2,5h hike (up and downhill), using trails and ancient paths of old coffe farms, walking next to rivers, experiencing nature and discovering the tropical rainforest, considered one of the largest urban forests in the world until reach the Cascatinha Summit, 525m (1722ft). From the summit, an amazing view of the valley is revealed and it’s possible to see the whole mountain range and the highest peak of the park,  Tijuca Peak (1,021m=3,350ft)

During the tour, learn and discover the history of Rio, Brazil and Tijuca Forest, all about the coffee farms that occupied that area, the re-forestation held in the XIX century and a lot of information and curiosities about the local fauna, flora and the atlantic tropical rainforest biome.

After the hike, you are invited to refresh yourself and take a splah on Maracanã river, Poço da Cascatinha* (bring towel and bathing suit).

*(water flow on the river varies with the intensity and recency of the rain)

You don’t need to be an athlete nor have previous experience with hiking or trekking, but you must be physically fit and able to walk for the extent and duration of the tour.

* When booking you will be able to choose the hotel and meeting point within the covered area.

Food, water/drinks and transportation out of the designated hotels/hostels.

We cover more than 100 hotels/hostels in the South Zone of Rio where 95% of the accommodations are. If you’re not staying in any of these hostels/hostels please choose the closest to your place as a meeting point.

No. None of our tours include technical climbing. Our tours eventually occur on rough terrain, hiking trails. Our guides always give instructions on how to walk on rough terrain. You must be fit to perform the activity (please read the detailed description of each tour and consider the difficulty level, extension, elevation gain and duration of the hike).

Accidents in activities such as hiking and eco-tourism are very unlikely and caused by unsafe acts in general, if the participant does not follow the best practices and instructions from the guides. Following these practices and accompanied by experienced guides we mitigate risks. Still, Jungle Me provides a personal accident insurance for each one of the participants so that in case of a minor accident the medical expenses are covered until the limits stated on the insurance policy. The risks involved in hiking activities are: falling, slipping, stumbling, loss or breakage of personal belongings, physical exhaustion, falling of trees, falling of rocks and cliffs, insect bites, poisonous animals, contact with stinging plants, contact with thorns and severe weather, among other risks inherent to an outdoor activity. Such risks may cause damage or loss, small or severe. Before starting the tour each participant must sign a liability waiver saying that they are aware of such risks. The insurance described as included and provided won’t be valid and active in the case that any of my personal data (such as full name, passport number and date of birth) have been informed with mistakes or even not informed by me to the supplier company up to the day before the event. The security procedure within the trails must be the same as for the city. Our activities take place within national parks and APAs (Environmental Protected Areas), public areas where the security is under the responsibility of the State and the institutions that manage these areas. Statistics of incidents like robberies are very low, but cases have been registered so it is recommended not to carry expensive equipment, passports and valuables. Our team is highly comitted with hygiene and sanitary protocols and desinfection procedures of our vehicles and gear and also monitoring our team health to mitigate and minimize risks considering Influenza, SARs, Corona Virus and any other bacterial and viruses transmitted diseases, altough any ourdoor activity with a minimum contact with other people have risk of contagion.

Providing the personal data is required for the personal accident insurance of each participant (data is required by the insurance company and we keep those in privacy). Brazilians (or foreigners resident in Brazil) must inform the CPF number. Foreign tourists must inform passport number.

Hiking and eco-tourism are very low risk activities so children with more than 4 years old (depending on the activity) are able to participate accompanied by the parents. Parents must analyze carefully  for the description of the track (extension, time, elevation gain, etc) and it’s also very important that the child is willing to participate and capable to do it. Parents will have to sign a liability waiver stating knowledge of the risks for the activity.
