Sustainable tours in Rio – explore the city with us!
There are quite a lot Rio de Janeiro tours available for tourists and travelers. The difference with the tours we offer through Gringo-Rio is that we really want to focus on sustainable tours in Rio, and preferably with a social impact. The fact that some parts of the city are difficult to visit, for security reasons or accessibility, makes them the only viable option. Especially if your time is limited. When joining a tour you will probably discover parts of Rio that you would not find on your own and make new friends along the way.

Rio is mostly flat and has over 400km of bike lanes, this makes it a perfect city to explore on a bike. The pace and freedom when riding your bike makes it also possible to enjoy your surroundings more than when you are are making a “standard” tour with a van or bus.

Sailing Tour
Water is really important in Rio, since it was built in a bay area and with the ocean around it as well. So, to get to know Rio de Janeiro on a boat, makes a lot of sense. We think that a sailing trip is a great way to see Rio in a different way, and of course in a sustainable way. Spend the afternoon sailing in the sun and enjoy the stunning views of Rio with a marvelous sunset from the ocean.

Favela Tour
Favelas are a big part of Rio de Janeiro, just as its beaches and famous sights like the Sugarloaf Mountain. In the city there are over 1300 favelas, or communities, home to around 3,5 million people. We highly recommend visiting a favela. There are a lot of people offering favela tours and it can be hard to select a good one. That’s why we did the work for you and have contacts with professional and experienced guides. Besides that we selected guides that are related to a social project, so your money will also leave a positive impact on the community you are visiting.
