If your intention is to have a good sports day away from the beach, this is a great alternative.There are many different hiking trails here from the very easy to much more complex ones and even a trail for the seeing impaired!!! 👀 we went with a guide, a tour that ended up being very interesting.But there were many groups of people that were just in groups doing their own thing , so I don't necessarily think you have to have a guide. There's a cup of nice waterfalls , not all of them you can bathe in , but the one that we visited for swimming was more of a shower than actual swimming pond! Good place to also escape the heat of the city.Even though we were told by our guide that when it's very hot outside , it gets double hot sauna style in there. Unfortunately, for us, we did not get to see many animals.We heard lots of birds that we did not see and we saw some monkeys.But I was hoping to see much more.And unfortunately when we went that was not the case. As far as what you should wear while you're there , we were in sneakers and t shirt and shorts. We did see some people wearing tall hiking boots and walking sticks. The bathrooms in the park itself are free.But there are trails that have a cafe with bathrooms but they charge almost 4 reals .. You are discouraged at all times of feeding the animals however I did see some locals giving bananas to the monkeys.

A local friend booked us on the Indiana Jungle Tour which I enjoyed very much!!! Don’t miss the Museum Açude built circa 1920-30s. Antonio and fernando are great guide!!i appreciated their knowledge of the jungles plants。

A unique experience at Tijuca National Park with our guide Erik from Get Your Guide. He was incredibly friendly, informative, and encouraged us to fully enjoy the caves and trails. The hike through the jungle was absolutely worth it—beautiful views, rich nature, and even some wildlife sightings.

The tour was absolutely wonderful. This tour takes us back through the ages and history of Brazil and the colonisation of Portugal where today's national dishes in Brazil originate from. Restaurants serving original recipes were carefully selected and the tour route was crafted in such a way that food arrangements and servings were seamless. I didn't expect to learn and gain so much from this tour which included a small boat trip and many laughs. Eduard was instrumental in making this a wonderful day

Such an amazing place. From the tram station ride to the mountain top to the steps up the cliffside. The views are incredible and on a clear day like today you can see for hundreds of miles. Jutting out from the ocean you can see the sugarloafs and landscapes. Take your time and spend the day there. Have lunch or a snack be sure to bring water and hydrate and just enjoy. I shot these arial pictures and videos with a dji mini pro 3 drone. You can see full edits on my YouTube channel. I hope you can feel the breathtaking images.

We barely did any research. We took an Uber for $15 USD from Copacabana. Got dropped off at the visitor's center. There was no entrance fee. A lot of easy trail. Got to see two waterfalls. There was no signal for our phones but we didn't get lost. We got to see monkeys. And other animals. It was nice to get away from the city stress and traffic. I would recommend this place if you love nature, walking around and explore, and get away from the city.
