It is one of the last easily-accessible areas of 'Mata Atlantica' - the original forest that once covered the whole coastal area of southern Brazil. On this tour you will see stunning waterfalls and dense vegetation and experience a sense of tranquility which makes it hard to believe that such a vibrant, cosmopolitan city lies just beyond the forest.
The Tijuca Forest can be combined with a visit to Christ the Redeemer on the top of Corcovado Mountain, or as part of our special Thee Ecosystems of Rio de Janeiro tour.
