Garden Tours · BRAZIL
Short seasons and capped slots mean the good brazil garden tours go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend four hours exploring Rio’s Botanical Garden and Tijuca National Forest with a Spanish-, English-, or Portuguese-speaking guide. See imperial palms, orchids, water lilies, Taunay Waterfall, and views toward Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Vista Chinesa is included on weekdays only.
“Nice tour, Newton gave us a lot of interesting information.”
Spend an afternoon among palms, orchids, native trees, and birds at Rio’s Botanical Garden, then ride into Tijuca National Park for rainforest scenery, Taunay Waterfall, and city views. Guides such as Newton, Joao, and Alexia have earned praise for clear explanations, though the forest portion is often more scenic drive than long walk.
“Newton was an excellent guide. It was wonderful going to the waterfalls in the forest and exploring the botanical gardens.”
Visit Rio’s 346-acre Botanical Garden with a guide such as Lucia, Milene, or Erica. See royal palms, wild monkeys, the Frei Leandro pond, and an orchid house with more than 500 types, then explore on your own.
“The guide didn't really speak Spanish and although it put a lot of interest it was very difficult to understand it and it's a shame because the place is wonderful and beautiful. The transfer was by Uber so in the end we could have done it for free since we have no advantage when doing it as an organized visitAuto-translated”
Spend four hours touring Rio’s Tijuca National Park and Botanical Garden with hotel pickup, a multilingual guide, and stops at Vista Chinesa, Taunay Waterfall, and Mayrink Chapel. The park ticket is included, but you pay the Botanical Garden entrance separately. Weather and city traffic can affect the route.
“Guide super gentil, visite sous la pluie donc un peu compliqué d’apprécier tout à sa juste valeur. Nous n’avons pas compris pourquoi l’entrée du jardin botanique n’est pas incluse dans l’activité mais à payer sur place. Peut-être l’inclure dans la réservation et la payer en amont”
Pick a season, a palace or a glasshouse.
