The Tijuca forest, the Jardim Bôtanico and their treasures

About this experience

The Tijuca Forest is one of the three largest urban forests in the world. In one of the areas of the park there is the Corcovado mountain with the statue of Christ the Redeemer which is certainly the main attraction, but there are various natural and historical treasures for which it is really worth knowing.
The day begins with the arrival by car to the entrance of the national park. From there we will begin to go inside the forest to visit some of the most evocative points. We will then go to know the famous Jardim Bôtanico, one of the unmissable places for those who want to know Rio de Janeiro and finally we will pay a visit to the Parque Lage, one of the most popular places for cariocas who wish to enjoy the peace of its garden and admire the large historic residence in typical Italian style with a view of Christ the Redeemer.
A tour full of nature, history and fantastic landscapes that will remain unforgettable for any tourist!
