Follow the Golden Lion Through Brazil's Atlantic Forest
One forest. Five private journeys. Each chapter travels deeper.
The Tamaruva Proposition
We chose one forest
over an entire country.
Tamaruva Origins creates private eco-luxury journeys in the Atlantic Forest, with the five core journeys based in Rio de Janeiro State. The Golden Lion Tamarin is the protagonist; the forest is the stage. From one small, radiant monkey, a deeper story opens: restoration, wetlands, birdlife, reflection and high mountains.

Chapter II · 4 Days / 3 Nights
Golden Lion Origins
Gentle · Immersion · Lowland forest
The story begins with the Golden Lion, then returns to the forest that sustains it. The Encounter expanded into a four-day private journey — the AMLD field chapter, Fazenda dos Cordeiros, The Origins Planting and the urban forest conclusion of The Last Chapter.
Chapter III · 6 Days / 5 Nights
Atlantic Forest Origins Journey
Balanced · Deeper immersion · Forest and wetlands
The story expands beyond the Golden Lion. The core Corridor Journey — the Golden Lion opens the door, and REGUA expands the story into habitat, restoration, wetlands and birdlife.
Chapter IV · 8 Days / 7 Nights
Legacy Expedition
Immersive · Complete story · Forest, wetlands and mountains
Restoration becomes reflection. The complete story — through the Golden Lion, The Origins Planting, REGUA, restoration and the Reflection chapter at Parador Lumiar.
Chapter V · 10 Days / 9 Nights
Tamaruva Apex: The High Silence
Active · The full ascent · Lowland to high mountain
The full ascent — from the Golden Lion’s lowland forest to high silence. The complete Tamaruva arc — the Golden Lion, The Origins Planting, REGUA and Lumiar, rising into the high-mountain chapter of Itatiaia.
The final chapter · One day · Rio Atlantic Forest
The Last Chapter closes Origins, Origins Journey, Legacy and Apex — and stands alone as a one-day experience in the Rio Atlantic Forest.
