Terms of Service

Last updated: November 2026

Important Notice

This website is a visitor guide. Tour links go to Viator or GetYourGuide, and room links go to Expedia through our partner Stay22; any booking is made there. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you book through one of them we may earn a commission, and the price you pay is the same. We help you choose, but we do not sell or run any tour or hotel ourselves. Every tour is run by a local operator, whose name appears on each listing, and rooms are provided by the hotels. This site is not ICMBio or the management of Tijuca National Park.

By following a booking link you leave this site; the booking is made with Viator, GetYourGuide or Expedia under that platform’s terms and the operator’s or hotel’s.

Bookings & Payment

  • Bookings are processed by the platform you choose (Viator, GetYourGuide or Expedia) and fulfilled by the tour operator or the hotel.
  • By completing a booking, you agree to that platform’s terms and the operator’s or hotel’s policies: Viator Terms of Use, GetYourGuide General Terms and Conditions, and Expedia’s terms on its own site.
  • Booking confirmations and vouchers are issued by the platform you booked with.

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Cancellation terms are set by the platform and the operator or hotel and are shown on each listing before you pay.

To cancel or modify a booking: contact the platform you booked with, using the details in your booking confirmation email.

Prices Shown on This Site

Prices, ratings and review counts on this site are copied from the listings, with the month they were checked next to them. A figure here in US dollars is the platform’s price at the time it was read. Operators change prices by season, by date and by party size. The price you pay is the one the platform shows at checkout.

Tour Operator Responsibility

  • The tour operator (not this website) is solely responsible for:

    • Running the tour safely and as described
    • The vehicles, guides and instructors, the meals and drinks, and any fees included in a tour
    • Changes to the route and the places visited, and cancellations
    • Visitor safety and insurance
    • Handling complaints or problems during the tour

  • When rain, strong wind, landslides, trail or road closures, park rules or traffic get in the way, the operator may change the route, shorten the tour, move it to another time or day, or cancel on the day. Refund or new-date options follow the terms shown on the listing you booked.

Liability & Disclaimer

  • This website is a visitor guide that refers you to Viator, GetYourGuide and Expedia. We are not liable for:

    • Tour quality, safety, or the accuracy of descriptions
    • Personal injury, illness, loss, or damage during a tour
    • Cancellations, delays, or changes made by operators or hotels
    • Disputes between customers and operators or hotels

  • A Tijuca Forest hike, jeep tour or flight means uneven forest trails with roots and wet rock, heat, sudden rain and wind, waterfalls and caves, and for some trips a long time in a vehicle in city traffic. Tell the operator about medical conditions, pregnancy, weight, fitness and mobility when you book. Everyone takes part at their own risk and must follow the guide’s or instructor’s instructions, keep to the pickup times, and keep to the rules of Tijuca National Park and the other places visited.

  • The operator’s own liability terms apply as stated in its booking conditions.

Intellectual Property

Tour titles, descriptions, images and prices come from Viator, GetYourGuide and the tour operators. All trademarks and content belong to their respective owners.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms periodically. Continued use of this site constitutes acceptance of updated terms.
