Experience of a lifetime in Tijuca forest

The views and the whole experience was exquisite. We were all city people, not much experience with climbing but Thiago made it so easy. He's so knowledgeable and passionate about his work. It's probably the best tour I have ever had

Good afternoon, I'm so glad I could provide this experience. Thank you.

Best of the best tour guides

Our hike with OIR - Aventura was everything we could ask for and more. Our guides Thiago & Bruno took us through the National Park to the top of Tijuca Peak and made the experience unforgettable. Not only did they offer a spectacular eco-tour of the area, they tied it to Rio's rich history-complete with beautiful views, peaks, and waterfalls. They are remarkable representatives of their city and their passion made this experience unforgettable. As a result, we booked another tour with them the very next day. They will be the first we call when we visit again and the only guide service we recommend to our friends.

Great hike, great guide

The cuide, Bruno, was great. Friendly, knowledgable, and happy to help. The hike took us through the forest to the peak of the highest mountain in Rio. The hike was fun, the air was fresh, and the view was spectacular. Also visited two lovely waterfalls and went under one of them - an invigorating, almost spiritual, experience. Tour is highly recommended for nature lovers.

Two INCREDIBLE tours of Rio!

Thiago was an incredible tour guide and i would highly recommend him. My buddy and i did 2 full 8 hour tours with him. We saw some of the most amazing sights in the world. Thiago is very knowledgable about the city but also very accomadating to what you want to see and do on the trip. 5 stars!!!

Operator response

Thank you very much. It was a great two days. We saw both sides of the city and had a complete tour of the city. See you next time!

Great exercise in lovely surroundings and superb views from The Peak

Rodrigo was a friendly guide, spoke good English and just the right amount of commentary during the hyke. Unfortunately the Vista Chinesa was closed but after a good 2.5k uphill trek through the beautiful Tijuca National Park.. the final 'ascent' and breathtaking views from the peak, more than made up for that!

Operator response

Thank you very much. We are very happy that you liked it.

Super fun adventure tours with knowledgeable guides!

I did two tours with Thiago - one hike up through the rainforest to Christ the Redeemer, the second tour through the Dois Irmãos with a motorcycle ride and hike down through the Favela Vidigal. Both were amazing - challenging hikes with fabulous company! Thiago is super knowledgeable about his city, Rio - the beaches, neighborhoods, and history. I learned so much, the time spent with Thiago was super fun, and I felt like I really got an inside view into some very special areas of Rio. I would highly recommend booking any kind of adventure tour with Thiago, and if I am ever lucky enough to make it back to Rio again, I will certainly book another tour with these guys! Fabulous time!!

Operator response

Thank you very much, I'm very happy that you enjoyed it and that it provided you with this great experience. When I return to Rio I will be happy to guide you on a new adventure.

excursion with the highest quality

If you want to enjoy the Rio off road with spectacular landscapes and outside of the typical tourist excursion this is definitely the place! They adapt to your plans, offering the best views and experiences at all times. It is worth it because you will enjoy a lot of privacy. Thiago has incredible energy and, in addition to wisdom, he is very attentive and pleasant with the little ones. It was so wonderful that we want to repeat it in other places in Rio, on the outskirts

Operator response

Gracias por los elogios y al regresar a Río estaremos esperando la próxima aventura.
