Trails, parks and Rio's lush nature
The world's largest replanted urban forest is 15 minutes from Copacabana. Waterfalls, trails, viewpoints and marmosets — all inside a city of 6 million.
Thirty minutes up, 360° view from the South Zone to Barra, and the hang-gliding ramp next door. Rio's best effort-to-reward ratio for non-athletes.
Rio's most deceptive (and fun) photo: a tilted rock that simulates a deadly cliff over the sea. The truth? The ground is half a meter below your foot.
A 19th-century Chinese pagoda planted in the Tijuca Forest with views of the Lagoon, Ipanema and Corcovado. Accessible by car in 10 minutes.
A neoclassical mansion with a courtyard pool, art school, coveted brunch, and a trail that climbs to Christ the Redeemer. Free admission.
