Description
Our Pico da Tijuca Hiking Tour will take you to Tijuca Peak, a mountain that stands 1022 meters (3352 feet) of altitude, and is the highest point inside the Tijuca Forest national park, as well as the second highest mountain in the city. The trail starts at a cozy location inside the park, called Bom Retiro, with a large parking lot and restrooms. It is mostly sheltered and considered to be easy even for first timers. Small mammals like raccoons and sagui monkeys, as well as different species of birds may be seen along the way. After an approximate 80 minutes hike, we reach the summit , where a perfect view of the whole city can be contemplated. Besides the views, travelers can go a little further up, and check the 117 step stairway carved in stone and built over a hundred years ago, for the visit of king Albert I from Belgian. To reach the starting point of the trail, the guide will drive through most of the sector A and B of the national park, stopping for pictures at the Chinese View and Taunay waterfalls.

Tijuca Peak Hike
Wir haben über die Website von Rio Adventures die Halbtages-Tour zum Tijuca Peak gebucht. Unser Fahrer und Guide hat uns pünktlich um 8 Uhr am Hotel abgeholt. Die Wanderung zum Gipfel dauerte ca. 1 1/4 Std und führt durch enge Wanderwege quer durch den Regenwald. Während das erste Stück der Wanderung noch relativ flach verläuft, wird es zum Ende hin etwas steiler bis man am Schluss den Gipfel über eine steile Steintreppe erreicht. Hier wird man dann auch mit einem fantastischen Ausblick belohnt. Für unsportliche Personen würde ich die Wanderung nicht empfehlen. Wer allerdings auch sonst kleine Wanderungen unternimmt, sollte keine Probleme haben. Wir haben die Tour durch den Tijuca Nationalpark sehr genossen und habe sogar einige Tiere gesehen (Affen, Waschbären). Der Ausblick ist bei schönem Wetter gigantisch ! Unser Guide war sehr freundlich und hat uns viel über die Stadt und den Nationalpark erzählt. Leider hatte man aber den Eindruck als hätte er am Nachmittag noch einen anderen Termin, da er sehr gehetzt gewirkt hat und gefühlt nicht schnell genug wieder vom Berg runterkommen konnte! Das fanden wir etwas schade! Sonst super Ausflug!
Hiking the Tijuca peak
I really appreciated the services of Ro adventures as represented by Rafael Caja who is quite friendly and efficient in dealing with his clients. It was lovely to have him sharing his knowledge with us and taking us to the top of the mountain. Thumbs up to Rio adventures and our guide.
Hike up Pico da Tijuca
A group of 4 of us spent some time with Rafael as he guided us to Pico da Tijuca with Rafael. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made the hike a fun exploration. Being an experienced adventurer put us at ease going up the mountain. I would recommend hiking up the mountain with him!
Hike to Pica Tijuca Peak
We hiked through the Tijuca Forest to the peak. Where my fiancé then proposed! A very memorable experience with a knowledgeable, well travelled guide.
Well organised and enjoyable tour
We did the Tijuca trail hike. The guide picked us up from the hotel and took us to the trail. He was very friendly, knowledgable and spoke excellent English. His passion for the outdoors meant he could tell us a lot about the different hikes, activities and sights in Rio. Would definitely recommend booking with Rio Adventures as they gave us a fantastic experience.
Hiking Tijuca Peak And Pedra Bonita With Rio Adventures
I have been hiking twice now with Rio Adventures - the first time to Tijuca Peak (3 hours, moderate) and the second time to Pedra Bontia (2 hours, moderate). Both times the experience was excellent. You need to bring plenty of water. The guides were real Cariocans who were happy to speak in English or let you practise your Portuguese. The second time, I decided to do a combination tour that started with the hiking at 8.00am followed by trips to Christ Statue, The Botanical Garden and finally Sugar Loaf. Going with the Rio Adventures guide has many advantages, for example, the guide gets you to the front of the queue at the attractions, you are in a private car and there is no time wasted wating for a tour bus to fill up, you learn a lot about life in Rio from the guide, the guide is flexible and will let you stay as long as you like at each attraction. I recommend the customised combination tour for people making their first trip to Rio - you can get to see all of the main attractions in Rio in one day that way. I highly recommend Rio Adventures and its guides.
