- Your day begins in the heart of Rio, at the Tijuca Forest. You'll lace up your boots, take a deep breath of fresh jungle air, and start your hike through the green, lush landscape. Your heart beats faster, not only from the physical activity but also from the thrill of exploring this exotic location.
- After your trek, you'll dust off your boots and head to the world-famous Copacabana beach. Trade your hiking gear for beach attire. Its time to relax and soak in the sun. You'll find a perfect spot on the soft sand and lay out your picnic. As the sunsets, you'll enjoy a moment of peace, just you two, the ocean, and the rhythmic crashing of waves.
- Evening turns into night under the shimmering beach lights. You return home, feeling refreshed and connected, not only to each other but also to the vibrant city of Rio, its nature, and its rhythm.
Preparation steps:
- Before the day of your date, make sure to pack all your hiking essentials โ good sturdy boots, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, water, and some snacks. Don't forget a small backpack to carry all the items.
- For the picnic, prepare or buy some food and pack a blanket to sit on. Tropical fruits, sandwiches, refreshing beverages or a bottle of wine will make for a perfect beach picnic. Also consider packing a portable speaker for some music and maybe a beach game.
- Keep an eye on the weather forecast. Although a little rain could add to the jungle adventure, it might spoil your beach picnic.

Some tips:
- Start your hike early in the day to avoid the midday heat in the jungle. Also, this way, you'll have more time to relax on the beach in the afternoon. Be sure to stay on the marked trails in the Tijuca Forest and do not feed or disturb the wildlife.
- At the beach, pick a spot that's not too crowded. Remember, it's your romantic getaway, not a social gathering. Keep an eye on your belongings while you're in the water. To enrich the picnic, you might want to write small letters to each other or prepare a 'question game' to get to know each other better.
- Lastly, remember that Rio's sun can be intense. Keep yourself hydrated and apply sunscreen regularly.
