Enjoy the Horto waterfalls tour with a specialist guide. The hike begins at Jequitibá Waterfall and ends at Shower Waterfall, also known as Box Waterfall. All waterfalls in the tour are permitted for bathing and shower.

Rafael was the ABSOLUTE best tour guide! He was patient and personable. We learned so much about the national park and Brazil. It was a tough hike, but it was excellent! We did the early morning hike, which I’d highly recommend as it gets crowded by noon. Two of the three waterfalls we had all to ourselves!!

This was a spectacular tour. Apart from the scenery and the serenity of the waterfall, tour guide Rafael was the best. Being older and less fit, he was increasingly attentive and caring of me, nothing was too much as he supported me on the hike, he took photos for me as well. This was my last tour on this vacation and Rafael made it the BEST ONE. He was knowledgeable, funny, great company and caring, Rafael you were the best !!

Enjoyable circuit of the National Park and yes after sweating the waterfalls was exactly what we all needed. Amazing beauty everywhere you look.

This tour was extremely dangerous, and no warnings or indications of this are given on the site. I'd warn others to consider its suitability. I also intend to report this properly to the tour company and Viator, given we were almost badly hurt yesterday on the tour.
This walk is NOT a "hike". The route to Jequitiba was a long, steep path that took in total 3 hours to the Waterfall and back. It involved climbing up and down sheer rock drops (4 or 5 times) that would only be safe if climbing equipment was used. It also involved crossing a long, steep,slippy horizontal rock with a drop to the right and a Waterfall trickling over it, with nothing more than a rope to hang on to (not enough to stop you falling - I nearly did and if it wasn't for my husband I'd be in hospital now). I had a panic attack from the fear, and today have a sore back, wrist and ruined clothes.
Unfortunately the site won't let us upload pictures but I've shared with Viator and the tour company.
There is no indication on the site of any of this on the tour web site or the info sent by message after booking to confirm collection etc.
The site says the trail is "light level of difficulty", you need to have "moderate fitness" and bring shoes with "good grip". There is no mention of how steep the track is and that actual climbing up and down dangerously high steep slopes and sheer rock faces will occur.
This is untrue - you need to be very fit and a confident climber. Even then, ropes and climbing equipment should be used. At at least 5 points during the route, climbing equipment should have been used and we were at serious risk of fall and significant injury.
I'd strongly recommend getting more information before booking this hike, and have asked Viator / the tour company to ensure information on their site is updated ASAP.

Beautiful nature walk and waterfall. Better to walk with a guide as some of the hiking was steep and requires climbing on slippery surfaces.

Seriously. Do it! Booking this tour was the best decision my cheap ass ever made. The guide was truly amazing and showed me all the best view points. He took photos for me, and tested me to go beyond my comfort zone so I would have the best adventure possible. He also translated for me and gave me other tips on things to do and see while in Rio which was a nice plus. Very personable and no problem at all communicating. We're buddies now in fact and I'll definitely be hitting him up next time I'm there. A+++

The guide was very kind. The group was very small, only me and one other person and the waterfalls were beautiful.

Diogo was very informative about the forest trail, a 3 hour trek with some stunning scenery and pointed out the different plant, bird a d wildlife in tijuca forest. I'd highly recommend the waterfall for a cool shower, diogo is very knowledgable and passionate about nature and this showed on a 5 star tour
