Description
After hotel pick ups, you will visit the Botanical Garden. Founded in 1808 by King John VI of Portugal, The Botanical Garden shows the diversity of Brazilian and foreign flora. The 140-hectare park lies at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below the right arm of the statue of Christ the Redeemer and contains more than 6,000 different species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees, including 900 varieties of palm trees.
The Garden also houses monuments of historical, artistic and archaeological significance. The Botanical Garden has an important research institute, which develops a wide range of botanical studies in Brazil.
Next, discover the lushness of one of the world's largest urban forest with a 2-hour guided tour. Surrounded by the busy metropolis of Rio de Janeiro - enjoy your oasis in nature as you experience greenery in the middle of an urban jungle. Admire Cascatinha Taunay, an iconic waterfall perfect for photos, and explore the Visitor Center to learn about local biodiversity on an easy hike with a guide, giving you the chance to spot monkeys, birds and butterflies — even sloths!

Casi perfecto
Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. Avenida das Palmeiras Reais fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos. Lo recomendaría igual.

Buena experiencia
Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Los músicos en vivo le dan otro nivel a la noche. Muy bien que incluyera entrada para el Jardín Botánico Las mesas están un poco juntas. Con esos detalles arreglados sería un 10.

Highly recommended
Worth far more than what it costs. The price is honest for what you get. Jardín Botánico has a very special atmosphere. One of the best things we have booked online.

We enjoyed it
Worth doing, with a few things to polish. The route is well thought out, no backtracking or wasted time. We used ticket to the Botanical Garden the whole time and it worked perfectly. The guide was fine, if not memorable. The price is honest for what you get. Frequency between buses could be better at the later stops. There is room to improve, but no regrets.

Entregou tudo o que prometia e mais um pouco. Dá para ir tranquilo com pessoas mais velhas, tudo confortável. A região de UNESCO à noite é outra coisa. Sem dúvida uma das melhores experiências da viagem.
