The experience

Understand Rio Beyond the Postcards

Beginning in Barra de Guaratiba, follow a private guide along forested coastal trails far from Rio’s urban beaches. The route crosses hills and natural viewpoints before descending toward a succession of secluded stretches of sand framed by Atlantic Forest, rocky headlands and open ocean.

Visit Inferno, Funda, Meio and Perigoso beaches before continuing toward the Secret Passage, with stops adapted to the group’s pace and trail conditions. Take time to appreciate the landscape, rest beside the water and experience one of Rio’s most preserved coastal environments before completing the return journey.
