Among other trails, one of the easiest in terms of accessibility is the trail to cachoeira dos primatas, which runs through the tijuca forest.

the journey starts in the jardim botânico neighborhood, where participants follow the streets towards the horto, which is where they can access the trails. once reaching the trails, there is a further 710 meter long track to cachoeira dos primatas, which takes between 30 -45 minutes to complete.

whilst not a particularly long hike, it is of moderate difficulty, which some hikers may find challenging, due to the rocky and slightly steep terrain.
