3.Ecological walk in sao paulo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $170

Hike Cantareira’s Atlantic rainforest on a naturalist-led eco walk with waterfall stops, a big São Paulo viewpoint, and hotel transport included.

“Luis was a great guide. Pickup was smooth and he even dropped us off at the airport after the hike. The hike itself was amazing. I saw a family of monkeys, and beautiful view of Sao Paulo from on top of "the rock." I was there during the dry season, so the waterfalls weren't an option. He took us to a secluded creek instead. It was amazing. We also saw armadillo holes, termite mounds, a spider's nest, a wild turkey bird, beautiful trees, bright flowers, and a couple of resting spots that took our breath away. Thank you Luis and Viator!”
