in the lagoa rodrigo de freitas located in the lagoa neighborhood, there are a variety of nature-friendly activities one can engage in -  the lagoa offers something great for everyone of all ages, whether its for leisure or exercise interest, family fun, or even for romantic purposes.

aside from the annual christmas tree that can be admired during the month of december, there is a trail that mimics the heart-shape form of the lagoon as well as playgrounds, sports fields, and kiosks offering food, beverages, and rentals.

a ride on a rentable pedal boat is a particular delight, specially enjoyed on a warm, relaxed day in rio - this interactive attraction grants incredible views only available from the middle of the lagoon.
