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.

Breathtaking view

The hike to Pedra Bonita is short and easy, but the view at the top feels endless. Walking through the forest and hearing its sounds was already special. Reaching the summit and seeing Rio de Janeiro stretched between the sea and mountains is a memory I’ll keep forever. The guide made everything lighter and more fun.

Rappelling with a magical view

Guided rappelling in Tijuca Forest means diving into adrenaline while staying safe. Routes are typically 20 to 30 meters high, offering spectacular views of the forest and city. The gear is top-notch and the guide’s attention makes all the difference for enjoying the experience confidently.

Tandem paraglide over stunning landscapes

The tandem paragliding flight in Rio is an indescribable experience. After quick and safe instructions, we took off from the top of Pedra Bonita, soaring over Tijuca Forest and gently landing on São Conrado beach. About 10 minutes of flying with the wind in your face, taking in views of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, and the sea. The instructor was attentive and made all the difference in feeling confident and light.

The most beautiful climb of my life

The climb at Praia Vermelha was an amazing experience for beginners. After an easy walk along the Pista Cláudio Coutinho, we reached the base of Morro da Urca. The climb is moderate, with sections between 20 and 30 meters, and fully guided for safety. I felt excitement with every move, but always confident thanks to the experienced instructor. The view of Sugarloaf and Guanabara Bay was spectacular, a perfect reward.

SUP at sunrise in Copacabana

Gliding on a stand‑up paddleboard as the sun rises over Copacabana is magical. The sea in the early morning is calm and the golden light reflecting off the water creates stunning scenes. The activity is gentle but brings peace and inspiration. The instructor was attentive, caring, and gave great tips on posture and safety.
