Tour Details

Trek through the enchanting "favela"ン of Babilonia, the Brazilian term for a shanty town, and hike through the surrounding jungle greenery on this incredible guided tour of the "real"ン Brazil. Enjoy a walk through the lush wilderness of the Brazilian rainforest on this tour, teeming with wildlife and tropical delights.

First, your tour will take you on a steep hike to Babilonia, a slum that is part of the Leme neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. High on this steep ridge, the shanty town dates back to the late 1800s, when the army set up camp there and soldiers built the first shacks. Tunnels were soon built by construction workers that connected the city to Copacabana and Leme. Your tour of Babilonia will take you through the streets and to local social projects, giving you a view of the daily life of the people of this community.

After visiting the favela, your tour guide will take you on an easy trail to the hill that splits the neighborhoods of Botafogo and Leme. The gorgeous landscape of this trail will have you in awe as your guide escorts you to Sugar Loaf, Corcovado, and Copacabana Beach. The beautiful Brazilian rainforest you'll tour through is home to adorable and interesting creatures, such as the marmoset and toucans, which might just pay you a visit along the way.

With nearly five hours to hike Brazil and its most interesting neighborhoods and jungles, this favela and jungle tour will keep you on your toes. Hike Rio de Janeiro with a tour guide that speaks English on this moderately easy trek across the jungle. Walk around the scenic favela and hike through the rainforest. Your Brazilian rainforest hike includes insurance, as well as transfers in an off-road vehicle through South Zone and Downtown. Be sure to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a small backpack. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and sneakers, not sandals. Don't forget your camera, as this incredible Brazilian rainforest hike will offer multiple photo opportunities.
