Plunge into the depths of Tijuca forest in a Jeep and marvel at this tropical forest right in the heart of the Brazilian megalopolis. A half-hour trek will then give you the chance to see species of monkeys, birds and butterflies native to an Atlantic forest climate (Mata Atlantica).
Continue your walk through the tropical forest as you pass by the Cachoeira dos Macacos (Monkeys' Waterfall) and the Cascatinha (Taunay Waterfall).
As you follow a route which will take you to the Capela Mayrink (Mayrink Chapel) and the Vista Chinesa (Chinese Viewpoint), your guide will explain all about the 19th-century reforestation project.
