Catro maya is a particularly popular trek, as
it incorporates
caves, historical building, ruins, pic-nic areas,
and restaurants along the way.
Also along the circuit are the
cavesof
belmiroand
luís fernandes,
honoring the men who worked on the reforestation of parque da
tijuca, and
the
gruta do morcego(Cave of Bats), with a depth of nearly 300 ft formed by a
massive fracture.
importantly, both trails have
periodic access points
that connect to paved roads, so that it is
possible to explore each
track a portion at a time, over several days.
