at a glance

of the many angles visitors can enjoy in rio,  one of the most prized for eco-tourism  is the national park of tijuca, right in the middle of the city. it is one of the best places to get an idea of what the pre-colonization rio may have looked liked. 

 over 46 square miles of tropical rain forest, walking trails, waterfalls, lakes, creeks, valleys, caves, wonderfully varied greenery, and stunning views of the city are only about 20 minutes away from the popular beach-front zona sulof rio.

on the slopes of the Tijuca massif, amateur hikers can discover trails and pic-nic areas, serious hikers can climb to the 3320 feet summit of pico da tijuca, while others can simply enjoy ponds, waterfalls, and the sounds of nature. arrow-back     arrow-forward
