Guided walks into Tijuca fill this list, because Rio keeps a rainforest in the middle of its map. The whole forest was replanted by hand in the 1860s after coffee farms stripped the hills; now it holds waterfalls, ruins and toucans twenty minutes from Copacabana. Go with a guide, since trailheads are poorly marked and the best routes are easy to miss.
Step into the mesmerizing world of Tijuca National Park, where hidden caves, cascading waterfalls, and secret spots await on this unforgettable half-day hiking tour in Rio de Janeiro.
