Rodrigo Índio Tours – More than a tour, an experience!

Traveling is about connecting. It’s more than seeing landscapes — it’s understanding stories, cultures, people, and their realities. Here at Rodrigo Indio Tours, we believe tourism can be a powerful tool for transformation, learning, and awareness.

Our tours are designed for those who want to experience authentic, meaningful adventures, appreciating both the natural beauty and the rich culture of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.

Stories and Fun Facts

Behind every viewpoint, trail, beach, or community, there are memories, traditions, and curiosities that make Rio unique. On our tours, you’ll hear stories about the city, learn about Carioca culture, the local communities, the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, and the indigenous peoples of Brazil.

What NOT to Do on the Trails

• Leave the marked trail: Walking off the path can cause erosion, destroy vegetation, and put you at risk.

• Leave trash in nature: Always bring a bag for your waste. Food scraps, packaging, and even toilet paper must be carried out.

• Feed wild animals: This can harm their health and disrupt the ecosystem.

• Make fires or use open flames: Fire risk is high and can seriously damage flora and fauna.

• Make excessive noise: Respect the environment and fellow hikers. Loud sounds scare animals and disturb the experience of nature.

• Underestimate the trail: Always check the difficulty level, and come prepared with water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and proper footwear.

• Ignore guides or informative signs: Follow park or reserve rules. They exist for your safety and the preservation of the area.

Respecting nature is an essential part of the adventure. Hiking consciously ensures these incredible places exist for future generations.

Important Tips

• Always bring a reusable water bottle.

• Respect the communities, local culture, and residents.

• Follow the guides’ instructions for your safety and environmental preservation.

• Enjoy, learn, and take photos… but only carry memories and leave only footprints.

Travel with purpose. Experience Rio consciously, joyfully, and transformatively.
