Highlights

The Tour

As an option for a second day in Rio, for those who already visited the main attractions, the Rio Eco Secrets, our ‘Eco Citytour Rio’, is a great option. Combining all the main ‘green’ and nature areas of the city, visiting National Parks and protected areas that are off-the-beaten-track and not featured in the regular tours.

You’ll see different ecosystems like rainforest, waterfalls, secluded beaches, lagoons, ‘restingas’ and mangrove with caimans, capybaras and also summits and belvedres with magnificent views from the mountains of Rio.

For those who love nature but are not willing to hike and trek, this is the perfect tour. Within 1 day, our team will take you to visit Rio, South, North, and West, picking the best nature spots.

1) Penhasco Dois Irmãos Park, with a great view to Ipanema and Leblon beach

2) Chinese View summit (Tijuca Forest National Park)

3) Taunay Waterfall (Tijuca Forest National Park)

4) Canoas Summit (Tijuca Forest National Park)

[BREAK FOR LUNCH/SNACKS IN A RESTAURANT] (not included)

5) Chico Mendes Mangrove Park, where is possible to see caimans and capibaras at Tachas Lagoon.

6) Prainha Beach (protected area), a secluded beach area, surfer’s preferred spot, surrounded by green mountains and rainforest, where participants are invited to take a walk on the beach and drink a coconut water

7) Mirante do Roncador, the summit with the best view to the ‘Sleeping Giant’, the Rio’s mountain range and interesting local legend

(on each of one of the parks, there will a bit of walking – but NOT hiking on trails – to get to know and experience the lush of a variety of ecosystems and maybe see some wildlife)
