The 10 Best Photography Tours in Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

May 17, 2022 Renato Branum

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

The Serra dos Órgãos National Park is famous for its spectacular rock formations, and its highest peak is known as Pedra do Sino, at a height of (2275m/7465ft). About one and half hour by car from Rio de Janeiro, Serra dos Órgãos National Park features great infrastructure and attractions for all tastes, from contemplation by the natural pool, to light trails and access to the mountains sector. Beautiful waterfalls with great swimming spots, such as the Poço Verde and preserved historical heritage in the headquarters, a chapel of 1713, a mansion of the 19th century, make this tour a great option to know the Mountain Region of Rio de Janeiro. We will visit the park in Teresópolis and Guapimirim cities.

I did this hike and a whitewater rafting trip and both were great experiences. The guide was great and provided transportation on time. It was a lot of fun and for a good price! I would definitely do another activity with Rio Xtreme if I ever find myself in the Rio area again! PS: I also went before the time it says, but that is the earliest it allowed me to select.

Why take a tour with Rodrigo? If you just want to go to well known tourist places like Corcovadao, Sugarloaf Mountain or Copacabana, then there are other less expensive tours that will do or you can just take a virtual touristic tour on the Internet. However, If you want to experience the real Rio, interpret and capture your own unique impressions of the city then Rodrigo is your ideal guide. Rodrigo is a photographer and understands that photographers do not want just record shots or narcsissistic selfie shots but rather images that reflect a place and the photographer and tell part of a story or journey For me, I wanted to capture some of the everyday lifestyles in Rio, Some parts of Rio are potentially dangerous and so it is essential to have a photographer/guide like Rodrigo that knows Rio and where to go for photography and to keep clients safe. We went to the Selaron steps, a local market selling all sorts of things from food to clothing, several places where unique groups of musicians where playing for they own enjoyment and for the locals, and a park where a group of dancers and drummers were practicing for the Carnival - all off the beaten tourist track. Rodrigo is a versatile photographer and does everything fro landscapes, architecture, people and impressionistic images - so you just need to advise him what your photographic style and interests. As far as I can tell, Rodrigo does not do set-ups for others to copy but takes you to laces that offer opportunity for self expression and interpretation I have been in photography for more that 40 years and highly recommend Rodrigo

Thank you, Guilherme, for your great work! Sunrise in Rio is the best memory you can leave with you. Guilherme is a great photographer, I feel comfortable and the photos I got, are gorgeous! Unforgettable lights and composition. Guilherme showed the best spots to make a good shot. We visited 2 place with view of Sugar Loaf and Christ. I totally recommend having this great experience with Guilherme. Also, he offers a transfer is really convenient, and you can bring extra look to have different photo. Muito obrigada, Guilherme você é demais
