Escape the hustle of Rio with a tranquil guided tour at the beautiful Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden and the lush Tijuca Atlantic Forest. Led by professional guides, get an up-close look at Brazil's impressive natural beauty—including hundreds of orchids—and perhaps spot a monkey or toucan.

An air-conditioned van takes you from your hotel to the vast botanical garden. Once you arrive at this world-famous park, stroll along the palm tree-lined road to see a variety of exotic plants. Learn about the beautiful fountains, hundreds of tropical birds, and the famous greenhouse that grows more than 500 kinds of orchids.

The journey continues to the Tijuca Atlantic Forest for an easy 30-minute hike with stunning views. Pass the thundering Cascatinha de Taunay (Taunay Waterfall), the hidden Capela Mayrink (Mayring Chapel), and beautiful Açude da Solidão (Dam of Solitude). Along the way, learn about the forest's unique ecosystem and diverse wildlife. You may even spot a hanging monkey or a toucan.
