Trails, parks and Rio's lush nature
With the city's best effort-to-reward ratio, Pedra Bonita offers a 30-minute trail and an incredible panoramic view from the South Zone to Barra.
Hidden in Barra de Guaratiba, this trail offers wild landscapes and the chance to take the classic photo hanging from an 'abyss'.
The world's largest replanted urban forest offers a peaceful refuge, waterfalls, and fresh air just minutes away from Rio's hot asphalt and bustle.
An oriental-style bamboo and concrete pavilion offering one of the most award-winning panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro.
With its stunning Roman-style mansion, Parque Lage unites art and the exuberance of the Atlantic Forest and is the starting point to Corcovado.
Go up through Vidigal and face the trail to the summit of Morro Dois Irmãos to get one of the most spectacular views of Leblon and Ipanema beaches.
Formidable, heavy trail with a high degree of overcoming that takes you to the largest seaside monolith in the world. Requires stamina and courage.
Conquer the first tier of the cable car on foot and enjoy this beautiful trail immersed in the Atlantic Forest with free access to the food court.
Over 1000m of mountain culminating in an epic staircase carved into the rock. Reaching Pico da Tijuca is literally arriving at the top of the forest.
Forget the kiosks of Ipanema. The Wild Beaches in the West Zone are untouched strips of sand accessible only by beautiful coastal trails.
The perfect escape when the heat sets in: freezing spring water and a beautiful natural pool sheltered under Horto's forest structure.
A very family-friendly, short, and accessible trail that places you face-to-face with the heart-shaped Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon in under 20 minutes.
