Some of the greatest hidden gems in Rio de Janeiro. Jalmir led us through kilometers of the forest to see many natural wonders. His experience made the whole home a breeze. The going gets tough in a few spots but at the end of each steep hike is a natural wonder.

This was an awesome experience! Had such great views of the waterfalls and took a dip. Also inside some of the caves. I will say that this hike was a little tough for myself in my group but I am very out of shape but still was able to complete the hike. Highly recommend taking sneakers for the hike. The trail can get quite slippery. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
