Description

Itinerary

We will entry the Tijuca National Park will be welcomed with the stunning view of the Taunay Waterfall, the most famous cascade in the Park with its 35m free fall beauty.
Our hiking experience will last 4 hours along beautiful trails. We'll discover historical places and walk inside the impressive vegetation of the Rain Forest that create the stunning scenery of the Park.
Our first stop is at Cachoeira das Almas (waterfall) where we can take a ‘shower” under its fall. Then we pass by the Floresta restaurant, a historical building, to hit the Caves Trail and discover the Belmiro, Archer and Bats Caves, being surprised by rocks and granit walls along this part of the park.
After visiting the caves we'll stop at the Cristalina and Baronesa waterfalls and hike back on a different path, allowing time to visit to the Gabriela fall and take time to relax, have a snack, enjoy the place and feel the Rain Forest.
The trails are mostly easy, but the hike is 8km long. Some small bits of humid and slippery soil, but no big difficulties.
All waterfalls have natural crystal water that rises from the water basins of the Park.
All caves visited are safe and don't pose any danger to the guests.
