    Hoca tour in Rio

    Posted by deirdrenoseck 6 December 2007

    Hoca Tour is an amazing trails company. I am a backpacker and most of my trips are planned in search of adventure. When I was last in Rio I stayed at a hostel located in Copacabana, which is a neighbourhood close by the beach.

    I asked the people who worked there if they knew of any activities that could be done by daytime, so they showed me a guide named Rio For Partiers. This was an easy to understand guide with lots of information on what to do in the city and the surrounding places. Me and my boyfriend did many of the ones listed, but the one we enjoyed the most was the Hoca Tour service, which takes you through dirt roads, open roads, sand dunes, rivers, waterfalls, oceans and many beautiful sights.

    The driver, Horacio, is very friendly too, and he has a lot of information on that area. We both had a really good time and we hope to come back again.
