River Macae Rafting Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Rio de Janeiro at 8 a.m before driving for two hours to Casimiro de Abreu.

Once at the river, there will be a 30-minute presentation on how to use the rafts safely and correctly, so you can get the most from your experience. Then the moment has arrived to head out into the water.

We'll ride along almost four and a half miles of wild rapids on this beautiful river. Rafting is a sport that requires teamwork and coordination, and as we negotiate these currents you'll get very wet and feel the burst of adrenaline.

As we approach the finishing point, you'll be able to admire Brazil's beautiful Atlantic forests in the surrounding landscapes.

At the end of the tour, you'll have 45 minutes of free time to have some lunch (not included) and before we take you back to the hotels, arriving at around 4 pm.
