Good history lesson with a nice hike!
Kevon_H, Feb 2024
I really enjoyed the hike with a small group of people from London and Renata, our guide. I don’t know a lot about Brazilian history, but she filled us in before starting the hike through the forest. There were some inclines through the hike, but Renata was patient and waited for people like me that were a slower and ensured we all enjoyed the hike and learned even more about Brazilian history and the Tijuca rainforest.
