Fantastic rainforest...
Fantastic rainforest hike. The path we were on was quite strenuous with some very steep steps at the top ( the steps weren't for me but my wife loved it) Thiago , our guide , was awesome. Full of information and advice , not just about the forest but Rio & Brazil in general.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much. I'm really glad you like it. See you on the next adventure.

Great tour
Challenging hike but worth it on the top with the spectacular views. Highly recommend Jalmir. He was an excellent guide from start to finish.
Response from the operator: Good afternoon, Thank you very much, that's our mission, always provide a happy day. Thank you

Experience of a lifetime in Tijuca forest
The views and the whole experience was exquisite. We were all city people, not much experience with climbing but Thiago made it so easy. He's so knowledgeable and passionate about his work. It's probably the best tour I have ever had
Response from the operator: Good afternoon, I'm so glad I could provide this experience. Thank you.

Best of the best tour guides
Our hike with OIR - Aventura was everything we could ask for and more. Our guides Thiago & Bruno took us through the National Park to the top of Tijuca Peak and made the experience unforgettable. Not only did they offer a spectacular eco-tour of the area, they tied it to Rio's rich history-complete with beautiful views, peaks, and waterfalls. They are remarkable representatives of their city and their passion made this experience unforgettable. As a result, we booked another tour with them the very next day. They will be the first we call when we visit again and the only guide service we recommend to our friends.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much and we are very happy that you enjoyed the tour. The trail was very beautiful and we always want to pass on this energy to tourists. See you on next adventure

Great hike, great guide
The cuide, Bruno, was great. Friendly, knowledgable, and happy to help. The hike took us through the forest to the peak of the highest mountain in Rio. The hike was fun, the air was fresh, and the view was spectacular. Also visited two lovely waterfalls and went under one of them - an invigorating, almost spiritual, experience. Tour is highly recommended for nature lovers.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much and we are very happy that you enjoyed the tour. We always want to pass this energy to our tourists. See you on the next adventure

Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Hiking Tour to Tijuca Peak - Tijuca National Park - by OIR Aventura start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
