Jeep Tour  -  Ecology & Culture
Versão em português
Jeep Tour exists to show an alternative side of Rio de Janeiro, the most beautiful and eclectic city in Brazil. Tours in convertible jeeps lead you to the contrast between the sea and the mountains of rain forest and between luxurious condos and slams.
---------------------------------------------
Jeep Tour was created in 1992 to take participants of the ECO92 to visit the largest urban forest in the world - The Tijuca Rain Forest. From there on, we continue showing and teaching the possibility of having tourism together with nature preservation. To have a better look of the contrast between luxurious condos and the slams, we visit the Rocinha district, the largest slam in South America with approximately 150 thousand inhabitants. By satisfying the curiosity of the tourists, we visit a demanding community and develop a social work in a marginal area, birth place of Carnival and source of man power labor to the city (taxi and bus drivers, door men, maids, handy men, etc), enabling a major contact with the Brazilian people roots.
Jeep Tour counts with a 30 military jeep fleet, with capacity and safety for 200 passengers, a team of professional drivers and multilanguage guides trained in ecotourism.
