🗣️ A point to consider

About the guides

Summarised feedback highlights their knowledge, explanations and attentive service throughout the tour.

About the jeep

The open-top vehicle is appreciated as a practical and entertaining way to experience part of Tijuca.

About the pace

Some travellers would like to spend more time in the park and less time on the pickup process.

Stops, trails and changing conditions

Capela Mayrink was built in 1855. A restroom stop is planned between the two trails, but their distance, elevation gain, official difficulty and walking time are not provided.

Wildlife roams freely, so sightings are not guaranteed. The tour operates regardless of the weather; one review reports that it remained enjoyable in the rain.

The exact stops depend on the operational itinerary for the day. Variable route

Does it suit your travel style?

It may not suit travellers looking for a long hike, extended time at every stop, guaranteed wildlife or a particularly leisurely pace.
