From $74.67Jeep & Forest Tours in Tijuca
If a full hike is more than you want, a jeep or forest tour brings Tijuca within reach of almost anyone. Open-top jeeps climb the forest roads to viewpoints like the Vista Chinesa, a Chinese-style pavilion looking out over the lagoon, beaches and Christ the Redeemer in the distance, with short, easy walks to a waterfall or lookout built in. Many tours pair the forest with the Botanical Garden at its foot, an oasis of giant imperial palms, orchids and lily ponds founded in 1808. The open jeep is part of the fun, catching the breeze on the climb and letting the guide point out wildlife and plants without anyone falling behind. These tours suit families, mixed-fitness groups and anyone short on time, usually running a half day with hotel pick-up. Bring a hat and sunscreen for the open vehicle, and a light rain layer in summer when afternoon showers pass through the canopy.
