Noelle Marozeau: 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.

Mark D. Nolan: 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.

krrazie: Tijuca National Park is a breathtaking escape in the heart of Rio de Janeiro and stands as one of the world’s largest urban rainforests. Visiting here is pure magic—expect to be wowed by dense canopies, hidden waterfalls, birdsong, and panoramic vistas of the city below. My visit was an unforgettable blend of adventure, tranquility, and discovery. Highlights and Experience From the very start at the park gates, you’re welcomed by the sounds and sights of the Atlantic Forest: the rustle of leaves, the chattering of capuchin monkeys, and the misty spray of waterfalls like Taunay. Don’t miss iconic landmarks such as the Chinese Pavilion, Mayrink Chapel, and, higher up, views from Pico da Tijuca—the park’s highest peak. For thrill-seekers, activities range from hiking and mountain biking to rapelling and guided eco-tours. Picnic spots and scenic lookouts make this an excellent day for families, nature-lovers, or photographers seeking unique wildlife shots. The park is steeped in conservation history, from 1800s coffee plantations to modern rewilding efforts, which lend a fascinating backdrop to every trail. Best Time to Visit Season Months Conditions & Tips Dry Season May–Sept Best for hiking, clear views, cooler temperatures, least rainfall Spring Sept–Nov Lush blooms, mild weather, quieter trails Summer Dec–Mar Dense foliage, long days, some humidity, park is busier Rainy Season Dec–Mar (peaks Jan–Mar) Trails may be slippery, waterfalls fuller, flash floods possible Early morning arrivals are recommended for cooler temperatures, active wildlife, and fewer crowds. Weekdays are less busy; avoid Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays if possible for a more peaceful experience. Do’s and Don’ts Do’s Wear proper footwear: Sturdy hiking shoes are essential—trails can be rugged, and flip-flops are unsafe. Pack sun and insect protection: Hats, sunscreen, and repellent are musts. Bring water and snacks: Few shops exist inside the park, so come prepared. Respect wildlife: Watch, photograph from a distance, never feed or approach animals. Use official trails: Stay on marked paths to prevent erosion and preserve the forest. Start early: Enjoy wildlife at their most active and avoid midday heat. Check weather before visiting: Trails can be dangerous in rain or fog. Hire a certified guide: Especially useful for new visitors or those seeking in-depth knowledge of flora and fauna. Visit the visitor center: For information, trail maps, and park history. Don’ts Don’t litter: Pack out what you bring—it’s a conservation area. Don’t make loud noises or play music: It disturbs both wildlife and fellow visitors. Do not exit trails or take shortcuts: This can cause damage to sensitive habitats. Do not feed or get too close to animals: Some may bite, and it disrupts their natural behavior. Avoid the park after sunset: There’s no lighting, and getting lost is dangerous. Don’t swim in unmarked waters: Only use designated areas for waterfall baths for your safety. Do not wear camouflage clothing: It can cause misunderstandings with authorities and is discouraged. Final Thoughts Tijuca National Park is a rare urban treasure—a living, breathing rainforest with rich biodiversity just minutes from city hustle. Whether you’re hiking to summit views, exploring waterfalls, or simply immersing yourself in birdsong and leafy tranquility, this park offers something for everyone. Respect the park’s rules and rhythms, and you’ll enjoy a safe, memorable adventure in one of Rio’s proudest jewels. Highly recommended—don’t miss it!

Varak Kazanjian: 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.
