The Tour

The Pedra Bonita hike (696m/2283ft), takes you to one of the most stunning summits of Rio de Janeiro with great views of the city, the coastline and the rainforest around (Tijuca Forest). In a 50 minute hike going uphill you’ll reach the top and see from an unique angle Pedra da Gávea, the famous majestic flat rock and the biggest monolith close to the ocean in the world (842m/2762ft high), the ‘table mountain’ of Rio. From this summit, we can also see the West coast of Rio, Barra area with its lagoons and mangrove, also Ipanema and Leblon beaches and Dois Irmãos Hill.

The Pedra Bonita trail goes through Tijuca Rainforest (National Park), one of the largest urban forests in the world with more than 40 km2 and located in the heart of Rio. On the way up, it may be possible to see some wildlife like toucans, coatis and monkeys. During the tour, discover the history of Rio, Tijuca Forest and all about the coffee farms that used to exist there, the reforestation held in the XIX century, information and curiosities about the fauna and flora of the tropical rainforest ecosystem. The tour also includes a visit to another sector of the Tijuca Park, stopping by the Chinese View Belvedere, maybe the best summit in Rio with views to the Southern side and one of the very few spots in the city where you can get Christ Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, the beach and the lagoon in the same frame.

The Pedra Bonita hike  is an  EASY half-day tour, if you prefer a more adventurous and challenging hike (HARD full-day hiking tour) please check our other option of hike at Tijuca Forest (Tijuca Adventure Circuit). We also have a tour with NO HIKING, an eco-sightseeing activity, the Rio Eco Citytour.

In case of rain before the activity starts, we’ll contact by email (or maybe phone if you are in a hotel/hostel) about 1 hour before the pick up time to talk about it and give you instructions.

It depends on the tour. In the description of each tour you can check its duration, extent and other details. 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. Remember that hiking and walking on trails require more fitness than a walk in a flat area. Before doing any physical activity it is necessary to make a medical evaluation.

• personal accident insurance
• admission tickets (if necessary)

* 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.
