7.Rio de Janeiro Jeep Tour : Tijuca Forest

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 96 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $83

Spend about four hours exploring Tijuca National Park in an open-air jeep. You’ll visit Cachoeira dos Macacos, Cascatinha Taunay, and, on weekdays, Vista Chinesa. Guides such as Jane, Ana, Amelia, and Alex have been praised for clear explanations of the forest, wildlife, and Brazilian history. Expect light walking rather than a full hiking trip.

“You’re crammed into an open air jeep for a long drive. Once you arrive in Tijuca, the tour feels rushed. There were many things to do and see in Tijuca, routes to hike which our group was prepared for, but our trip host said he didn’t have time which was unacceptable to me. We got all of these explanations about trees, never went far enough in or towards the routes where we could see animals. Just disappointing overall. Also, you spend so much time with your back to the sun that my friend and I got sunburnt wherever possible, despite having on sunscreen. One guide hardly spoke, he just drove.…”
