If you’re planning a second day in Rio and have already checked off the icons, our Rio Eco Secrets — the Eco Citytour Rio — is your perfect next step. It threads together the city’s lush “green” highlights, from national parks to protected, off‑the‑beaten‑path sanctuaries skipped by regular tours.

Expect a mosaic of ecosystems: Atlantic rainforest, hidden waterfalls, secluded beaches, lagoons, native “restingas,” and mangroves where caimans and capybaras dwell — plus scenic summits and belvederes revealing sweeping mountain views across Rio.

Love nature but not keen on long hikes? This is the tour for you. In one effortless day, our team guides you through Rio’s South, North, and West, handpicking the most breathtaking nature spots for an unforgettable, slow‑paced immersion.
