Where I got a great guide Beautiful meeting of nature to enjoy with joy …………………………..🙏✌️👍👍✌️🙏🙏✌️👍✌️✌️🙏
Had a private tour to pico tijuca. Guide was Sergio. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the forest and Brazil in general. Hike was quite long but not too difficult but by the end it was a long hike and our kids had had enough. Really good option though for a way to get out of the city and and see something different.
Excellent experience, we took many photos. The Ricardo guide is very good. The views are great, the tour is long but worth it
I was picked up at my hotel and taken to the national park early in the day, before the heat had a chance to rise. My tour guide, Rafaela, was excellent. She struck a perfect balance of sharing information about what we were seeing and giving me a chance to appreciate the natural world around us. The hike was challenging without being strenuous, giving us plenty of time at the summit before beginning our descent. I highly recommend the tour.
Sergio was a fantastic guide. He was very informative, kind and interesting. He is passionate about the forest and has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife But most of all he was incredibly supportive and calm in dealing with my fear of heights. I am very thankful and feel that I learned a lot about dealing with fear.
The six hour duration is very deceptive. The hike only took and hour to get to the top and once we were there I felt extremely rushed to get down. He told us once he picked us up that he knew we were not going to be able to see anything at the top because of the clouds. I don't understand why he would not tell us that before we left and see if we wanted to reschedule because we did only end up seeing white at the top and then he rushed us to leave and therefore we weren't able to see if the cloud passed. It was fine but I felt very rushed and like I couldn't look around while hiking. I think I would have enjoyed this much more if I just went with my group and not a guide and got to do things at our own pace. Don't get me wrong though our guide was very nice this was just not worth what we paid since I thought we were getting a six hour experience and to be able to see the city from the top.
The hike was truly challenging but doable for us. We are 67 years old and found the lengthy hike, well, strenuous and we are pretty fit. Wear wool socks and really good shoes. Lots of climbing but we loved it. Our guide Sergio was informative and comical and shared many interesting facts. Our calves are sore today but it was well worth it.
The views are amazing! Our guide Pietro N. was professional, nice and informative. Highly recommend.
It was an amazing trip in the nature of Rio. The trip was perfectly organized by our wonderful guide Eduardo. He just loves his job and shows you all the beautiful places.He knows everything about the plants and animals in the forest. Can’t imagine a better Guide.One of the best things to do in Rio
This is one of my favorite hiking trail. Eduardo was my guide and he was amazing, knowledgeable, pointing out animals, points of interest, and lots of photos. He made this hike at eased and rememberable. Thank you Nattrip for amazing experience and wonder guide!!
