the tijuca park contains the tijuca forest and spans across several neighborhoods. it is home to   many attractions, so the entrance point can be chosen depending on location and / or points of interest.

for the Floresta da Tijuca , the main entrance is on Praça Afonso Vizeu, in the Alto da Boa Vista  district - accessible both from the tijuca neighborhood via Avenida Edson Passos, or from barra da tijuca and itanhangá via the Estrada das Furnas.

the waterfall Cachoeira das Almas is about 3 km form this entrance, as well as many easy walks, which are ideal for families with small kids.
