Tijuca National Park Hike and Waterfall Rappelling

Our guide Anderson was great. It was a moderate hike from the drop off point, which appeared to be in the middle of nowhere, so we were little nervous hopping out of our Uber, but it was all fine. The operator contacted us beforehand, Marcelo to check all was well and answered our question about the type of footwear to take, which BTW I would hike in boots and then switch to wet shoes for the rappelling part and take a towel and change of clothes. For us in July it was super chilly rappelling down the first waterfall so my wife skipped this as she had a poorly shoulder, but I and my 13-year-old Son braved the decent, although we also skipped the second waterfall, it did not detract from the experience though and I would recommend you to book this tour.

This was amazing! The foresr was beatiful and the wildlife was out. Our tour gude and repel coach was amazing! He was very knowledgable about rhe forest and was taught us how to repel. I had never done this before but I gained confidence quickly and had so much fun! Highly recommend!

Our tour guide Anderson was amazing, the trip to the waterfall was breath taking, the rappel worth it!!! He made sure to keep checking on us and safely got us to and from. 10/10 highly recommended and do again, rappelling that waterfall will give you a forever amazing memory.

We had an amazing time. Marcelo was so fun and a very experienced rock climber. The hike was challenging enough for us as beginner / intermediate hikers and the rapelling was so much fun. We will definitely be doing it again when we come back. One little note, if you are driving yourself, the meeting point is at a building that looks like a residence (you meet outside the door on the sidewalk). There is no parking nearby. Plan for at least 15 minutes to walk to the meeting point (closest parking is about 1000 meters away).

Rappelling was very fun: we came down a waterfall. Eric was a perfect guide: very prepared and smart! All perfect!

We had a fantastic morning with Marcelo! He was really friendly, gave us loads of information on the area and we felt very safe. The hike and climb through Tijuca was really fun and the waterfall rappel was brilliant! Great quality kit - very safe. We will be back for another activity another time! Thanks Marcelo.

Really fun morning and great experience. Instructor spoke great English, was very helpful and experienced. Definitely worth a go.

Great adventure with an expert guide, Marcelo. Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for an experience like this while in Rio. We even booked a hike with Marcelo the next day.

I made a cave circuit with my wife and 12-year-old son. The Enterprise provided all preliminary information on-line quickly. The guide, very punctual, was attentive and careful, respecting the rhythm of the group. I highly recommend

Marcello was very professional, friendly and nature conscious. He explained the rappelling so well that my brother and me could do it with see and it was an experience of a lifetime. I would love it do it all over again when i come back to rio..!!!
