Excursion to Tijuca National Park - The tour is very nice, I highlight the guide Barbara who explained everything very well.
It is a Jeep trip where you can appreciate landscapes, greenery, wildlife, the history of the place.

Great guide, but the tour was not as we expected - The tour was nice the tour guide Didi was great!
But we wanted to hike in the forest and we only had a tour with a Jeep that stops us in a few beautiful spots.
So if you want to hike not a good option because you won't. And if you want to see forest from the road of the park and not walk too much you going to like it
