Why Adventure Travel in Rio?

Check out the neighborhood of Santa Teresa while on Rio adventures, and listen to good samba while you eat amazing feijoada and pão de queijo. Keep in mind—and take advantage of—the fact that Rio is a hotspot for artistic events and nightlife. No matter whether you enjoy outdoor activities, such as archaeology, backpacking, birdwatching, or canoeing, or prefer spending time inside with solo pastimes, like cooking, you will find opportunities for adventure tours in Rio. 

Choose adventure travel in Rio, grab your backpack and notebook, and never run out of amazing sights to see. Enjoy a beautiful, little-known spot, Escadaria Selarón—a staircase by a single artist with tiles from all over the world. Check out Tijuca National Park and Jardim Botânico, then end your day at Arpoador for beautiful sunsets.
