About the activity
Macaé de Cima is a valley of slope forest and crystal-clear rivers, about one hour by 4x4 from downtown Nova Friburgo, depending on road conditions.
The walk is easy and rewarding: many species with little physical effort, which makes it a great choice for mixed groups and photographers.
