the marapendi natural municipal park
(parque ecológico de marapendi) is
situated on the shores of marapendi lake, which straddles
recreio dos bandeirantesand
barra da tijuca- two neighborhoods
located in the
west zoneof rio de janeiro.
set between
ayrton senna and
pedro moura
avenues, parque
marapendi is one of the most
beautiful and easily accessible natural reserves in rio de
janeiro.
the park is a haven of natural beauty, and
its chief attraction is the opportunity to relax and unwind in
the splendor of 'pre-development' rio-though this
is by no means the park's only selling point.
