Rio Eco Secrets: The Eco-City Tour
For those of you who have already visited the main attractions, the Rio Eco Secrets, the 'Eco-City Tour of Rio', is a great option. During this tour, you'll combine all the main 'green' and nature areas of the city, visiting National Parks and protected areas that are off-the-beaten-track and not featured in the regular tours. You'll see different ecosystems like rainforests, waterfalls, secluded beaches, lagoons, 'restingas', and mangroves with caimans and capybara. You'll also see summits and belvedres with magnificent views from the mountains of Rio. Please note: There will be no hiking on trails. Just some quick, low-impact walks at the different nature attractions.
This tour is for those who love nature but are not able to hike and trek. Within one day, you will visit Rio, South, North, and West, picking the best nature spots such as Penhasco Dois Irmãos Park, the Chinese View Summit, Taunay Waterfall, and Canoas Summit. And that's just before lunch (not included).
Finish the day up by visiting Marpendi Park )where is possible to see caimans and capybaras at Marapendi Lagoon), Prainha Beach (a protected, secluded beach surrounded by rainforests), and the summit of Mirante do Roncador.
