Torrential Rain in Tijuca

Well today was fun meeting Bernardo for our tour of the Tijuana rain forest, he told us lots of interesting things about the forest and the production of coffee here, back in the day. His knowledge on rio also was very interesting telling us best places to eat, swim and favela history. As it rained all day (flooded in most places!! Eeks) we decided to stay in the car for most of it, and didn't get to see many views e.g the Chinese view point or go on the trail walk through the forest. So instead we headed to Joatinga Beach that is less known to tourists, and more for the locals and surfers! The wealthy have houses here that overlook the hillsides to the beach... Lovely! P. S only a couple of pics/vids today as everywhere got flooded OMG! ☔😳😦😢En savoir plus
