About this activity

Upon leaving your hotel in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Barra da Tijuca, Sao Conrado, Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana, Leme, Botafogo, Flamengo, Downtown Rio we’ll hit the road and leave Rio.

These waterfalls are located 50 miles away from Rio, within the boundaries of Serra dos Orgaos National Park. This is also a very interesting tour for bird watchers. The trails at the National Park offer great photo opportunities.

Our first stop will be at the Guapimirin entrance of the National Park. Over there we’ll be able to swim at 2 different amazing natural pools created by the crystal clear waters of the Soberbo River.

From the parking lot near the Centro de Visitantes Von Martius Museum, we’ll hike 10 minutes on Trilha das Cascatas, a flat trail opened in the middle of the tropical forest. The trail ends at a tunnel formed by some gigantic boulders and at the other end of the tunnel there is the Poco Verde pool.

After renewing our energies at these waterfalls we’ll drive 10 miles on the highway that leads to Teresopolis and stop for some pictures at Soberbo Viewpoint surrounded by mountains like Dedo de Deus and Pedra do Sino. From here, on a clear day, it is possible to see the mountains of Rio and the Tijuca National Park at the distance.

From there we’ll go to the main entrance of the National Park located in Teresopolis and take a ½ mile walk on a flat suspended trail through the forest canopy to observe some of the local fauna and flora. This trail ends at another waterfall of the Paquequer River, where we may have another shower.

As an option for tours with kids, there is also a large river water public swimming pool in the park, surrounded by stone picnic tables and playgrounds. (the public swimming pool is not open year-round – please inquire).

To wrap up the day we may have lunch at one of the many great restaurants in Teresopolis before returning to Rio.

Tour is conducted in an air-conditioned vehicle driven by your tour guide.
