Our guide Carlos was very enthusiastic and speaks English very well. He made the trip very enjoyable. The Jeep is in good condition. We took the trip on a cloudy day so it was comfortable. If it was a hot sunny day it may not be as comfortable as the Jeep has no top.

The trip met our expectations. The driver and guide were very kind, and the guide told us about things in an interesting way. The experience of the open Jeep ride and the trek in the park, along with good company from the other participants, made the trip exceptional. I recommend it. Regards.

We were in Rio in July, but despite the sun it's not as warm as we thought. The drive in the open jeep was therefore quite fresh. Here you should take a jacket with you. The guide also told us a lot of interesting things about the plants and we really enjoyed the tour.
