What people say

If you’re looking for someone with a great knowledge and fun to hike with, Thomas is the person you’re looking for! I couldn’t imagine my hike to be better- very well prepared, excellent knowledge and history along the way, no rushing and on top of that perfect pics with breathtaking views! Also the climbing part was very good secured

This tour with was absolutely incredible. The trail through the park was both interesting and beautiful. Our guide, Thomas was so knowledgeable, not only about the park and the wildlife within it, but also about Brazil as a whole. (More on TripAdvisor)

Thank you 1000 times Thomas for this amazing experience we had the chance to have! Sugar bread from another angle and clearly worth a visit! Thomas is extremely reassuring and supportive when the terrain may seem a bit difficult. (more on tripadvisor)

Tourism That Gives Back

Rio’s mountains and forests are the reason EcotuRio exists. That’s why part of our profits support organizations working to protect nature and promote environmental education. Every tour is an opportunity not only to explore these places, but also to better understand them.
