National Parks · RIO DE JANEIRO NATIONAL PARK TOURS
Good rio de janeiro national park tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Take the official Corcovado Train up through Tijuca National Park to Christ the Redeemer. You get the train admission and monument access, but no guide. Allow a day, bring your passport or ID, and book an early time if you want fewer crowds.
“Was amazing experience. Won’t soon forget it. Blessed to have witnessed this wonder in person.”
Visit Christ the Redeemer by cog train and Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car in a four-hour self-guided outing. You receive official attraction tickets, but arrange your own transport, food, drinks, and timing. Bring your passport or ID and check both ticket emails carefully.
“Aucun besoin d’avoir sa carte bleue et ses passeports ! Mail du mail 28 septembre avec des vouchers au 24 septembre 😱 Beaucoup de temps de perdu Merci aux employés des sites pour leur patience Organisme à fuir”
Pack Rio’s biggest sights into six hours: ride through Tijuca Rainforest to Christ the Redeemer, visit Santa Teresa and Selarón Steps, then take two cable cars up Sugarloaf. Hotel pickup covers most of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, and São Conrado. Guides may speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French, or Italian.
“Our guide was the best! He was so friendly and easy to talk too!”
Join Thomas, Lucas, or another EcotuRio guide for a four to five-hour hike through Tijuca National Park. See 35-meter Cascatinha Taunay, visit smaller waterfalls where you can bathe, and learn about Rio’s plants, ecology, and past in a group capped at 10 participants.
“This hike was most definitely the highlight of my stay in Rio! I attended as a solo traveller and it was such a welcoming atmosphere. Small group with an individualized approach from our guide Thomas. Thomas was super kind, welcoming, knowledgable, and funny. We got to spend sometime in one of the waterfalls for a super refreshing dip, and also got to see some hardcore rock climbers. And as a cherry on top of an already wonderful experience, we saw a monkey!! CUTE!!!! And Thomas personalizes the hike based on the needs and abilities of each group! I, for sure, recommend this hike!!”
Pick a continent, a gate, or a kind of day.
