Darwin's Rain Forest Trail
Rio de Janeiro Brazil
In 1832 the Atlantic Rainforest overwhelmed Charles Darwin with its spectacular beauty and biological diversity. On this trail you ride through these exuberant forests of ancient trees and see a little of what enchanted the young Darwin.

Rio de Janeiro State has some of the best-preserved parts of the Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil thanks, in part, to the inaccessibility of some of the mountainous areas. Birdwatchers will discover an enormous variety of birds; the Atlantic Rainforest is also rich in reptiles, amphibians and butterflies. The vegetation
is thick and lush and fantastic. Many trees are absolutely dripping with epiphytes and there are an enormous variety of orchids
and bromeliads.

During the week you ride on narrow tracks through the rain forest, over pastures, crossing rivers and following winding mountain trails. The dramatic mountains of this area can be seen all the way from the city of Rio de Janeiro.
You ride during the week on one of the well trained Mangalarga Marchador horses of the Desempenho Riding Centre. The horses are calm and comfortable, most of them offering the marcha gait, so much easier than trotting.

Accommodation varies from comfortable chalets at the riding centre, to simple guesthouses to the beautiful lodge at Guapi Assu Lodge.
