About

Tania is Italian–Chilean, founder of Saíra Ecotour and our partner in Rio de Janeiro, where she transforms trails into journeys of reconnection with nature and with ourselves.

Having lived in Rio for over four years, she discovered in the Atlantic Forest a passion that became her purpose: creating experiences that reveal a more natural, human and conscious side of the city. With training in tourism and specialisation in natural attractions and rappelling techniques, Tania leads trails with safety, empathy and enthusiasm, combining adrenaline, breathtaking landscapes and personal growth.

Her business was born to promote ecotourism with soul, where every step is an invitation to meet the silence of the forests, the sparkle of viewpoints and the lightness of genuine experiences. Her itineraries cater to all fitness levels and value both challenge and support.

Besides being a guide, Tania stands out as a woman in a sector still dominated by men, and is a reference for courage, sensitivity and professionalism in adventure ecotourism. Her recognition comes not just from the trails, but from travellers’ accounts, who highlight the safety, care and respect with which each tour is conducted.

Together with Discover Brasil, Tania invites each person to discover the Rio that pulses in the forest, in shared effort, in conversations by the trail and in views that remain forever imprinted.

Experience Rio by paths that reveal its essence. Walk with someone who makes nature a home and ecotourism an act of love.

Journey to Tijuca’s highest point

The trail to Pico da Tijuca starts at Bom Retiro and covers around 5 km round trip, taking about 1 h 30 m to reach the summit, featuring moderate climbs and the final staircase. At 1,022 m, the 360° panoramic view is breathtaking. The guide was knowledgeable and kept everyone safe.

Impressive viewpoint in Tijuca Forest

The Bico do Papagaio trail is a great surprise in Tijuca Forest. The path is well-marked with moderate climbs. It’s not very crowded, which makes the hike quieter and more immersive. The viewpoint at the top offers one of the best views of the city. The guide was very attentive and knew the area well.

Easy trail full of history

The Babilônia trail is a great option for those looking for a short walk with beautiful views and rich local history. The path is gentle and the viewpoint offers an amazing view of Botafogo bay. The guide shared insights about the vegetation and the cultural context of the community.

Nature, challenge and a classic Rio view

Hiking to Sugarloaf is a unique way to experience this iconic place. The trail starts off easy but ends with a section of assisted climbing that requires focus. The view from the top is the perfect reward. The guide was attentive and made us feel safe the whole time.
