I had the possibility of having a super personalized tour. Tito was very friendly the entire time, and shared a lot of information with me about the most beautiful reserves in Rio and his entire experience.
I really enjoyed the tour. I recommend it without hesitation!

Our guide Roberto took us on the fascinating "Rio Nature Secrets" tour. Not only did we see beautiful waterfalls and remote beaches, but we also discovered the hidden resting spot of the native caimans and learned a ton about Brazil's turbulent history and diverse geographical regions. This was definitely time and money very well invested!

I recently visited Brazil and undertook two tours with JungleMe one a full day excursion called Rio’s natural Gems as well as a half day excursion Tijuca National Park and hike to Pedra Bonita. They were both amazing and I would highly recommend both tours for anyone wanting to experience Rio’s beautiful nature and wildlife.
My guide for both trips was Renata who is totally fluent in English. Renata is an amazing photographer and showed me lots of tricks with my camera which I did not know about.
Renata is extremely friendly as well as enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about Brazil’s history and specifically about Rio de Janeiro’s history and natural environment. On the full day trip, I got to see the full extent of Rio and all the amazing mountains and parks around Rio.
The hike to Pedra Bonita was fantastic with amazing views from the top over Rio. The views were far superior to those from either Sugar Load Mountain or from the Statue of Christ the Redeemer.

The excursion was just amazing. Spectacular panoramic views of Rio, impressive natural landscapes, unforgettable impressions of Rio's surroundings, lots of interesting additional information to Rio and a very nice and experienced tour guide who showed us Rio from a completely different perspective! Absolutely recommended!

This tour is incredible! There are so many highlights in Rio that not many travelers get to visit, despite being extremely beautiful. This Rio Nature Secrets Tour will allow you to visit 7 of these, with each stop barely having any other visitors as well. My favourites were Prainha Beach and Chinese Viewpoint. Thiago and the Jungle Me team were amazing guides, knowledgeable and just friendly people in general. Thank you so much!!

We had the most wonderful time as a group of 7 friends. the tour was so relaxing to be in the rain forest, see the incredible waterfalls, go to the remarkable Chinese lookout , see alligators , and relax on a very private beach. Perfect day.

Having taken a city sites tour the day before we were keen to experience Rios green areas so booked the Nature Secrets tour.
We were really very fortunate in being the only participants, probably down to time of year so we ended up with a private tour guides by Alex and Ricardo.
We began with a spectacular viewing point about the city and enjoyed a history lesson complete with diagrams of how Rio came to be since the 1700s which was emailed to is afterwards.
From there we drove to the Tijuca forest in the heart of Rio to see the waterfalls, visited a national park where we met our first Capybara and Capuchin monkeys, and later round to the secret surf beach which was unspoilt and very beautiful
Alex was a mine of information and happy to answer our many questions, he demonstrated a real passion for what he does and is a genuine environmentalist
I’d recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see an alternative side of Rio
