Access to Floresta da Tijuca, or Tijuca Forest is easy from this neighborhood from Paineiras Street, another good option for residents who enjoy time outside. Tijuca Forest is a perfect destination as it is totally focused on providing ample spaces and activities for the public to enjoy their natural surroundings, including areas that are reserved for barbecues, a popular activity in Brazil and known in Portuguese as 'churrascos.'

Access to the old tram stations was via Cosme Velho street before they were taken out of circulation - After an extensive modernization process the trams will hopefully be returned to working order in their full route, as they are considered a crucial element of Brazil's cultural heritage.
