Tijuca National Park: The Absolute Essentials

Tijuca National Park, one of the world's largest urban forests, protects a diverse ecosystem of Atlantic Rainforest within Rio de Janeiro. This selection features the 710-meter Corcovado mountain topped by the Art Deco Christ the Redeemer statue, alongside historic sites like the 19th-century Mesa do Imperador and the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Casa das Canoas. Visitors can explore the 1808-established Botanical Garden, hike to granite peaks like Pedra da Gávea and Pedra Bonita, or discover secluded waterfalls and the Vista Chinesa gazebo.
