Made a last minute private tour booking and the tour operator was very helpful accommodating our request. Our guide, Taalis, was great in guiding us thru the hike and took us to breathtaking views to the peak of the Tijuca forest. The hike itself was challenging at times for us but we got lucky with great spring weather that day. Highly recommend!

Denis was a fantastic guide who led us to the top of the Tijuca forest to get a fantastic view on Rio. He also offered dried bananas along the way (delicious) and brought us to a waterfall nearby (still in the forest). The hike was around 1h long and very sweaty.
