Tijuca Forest Trail - specialized guide and photos

This trip was very special to me because I have been to Rio for a few years and had never seen the city from this angle. Pessanha was super attentive in giving context to absolutely all the points we went through, took incredible photos, and even prepared a super Brazilian breakfast for us. We went to 3 clients in a super comfortable car with a playlist only of national songs to set the mood. Furthermore, the meeting point was in a very safe place - considering it was 5 am - and then we returned to the same point.

Sensational, Pesha is a beast!!!

This is a great walk through Tijuca National Park. We saw monkeys, lizards, a guaximin, a turtle, frogs, tarantulas, and brightly-colored insects. Most of the trail is shady. It begins with a waterfall and ends with a small waterfall you can go under. The guide was excellent. We had a great time. (This is often described as an easy hike, but most of the trail is on an incline that is frequently steep. If you have trouble with stairs, etc., this would not be appropriate. Also, this is not a loop, so be prepared to turn around once you reach the end.)
