Located in the middle of the Rio de Janeiro city, the Tijuca National Park was created in 1861 to reforest an area once destroyed by sugarcane and coffee plantations.

Pass the Taunay waterfall, which tumbles over rugged rock and faces into a calm pool below.

Stop by the nearby Mayrink Chapel built in 1860 and known for its pink structure.

Have a beautiful overlook of Rio de Janeiro's southern side from the Vista Chinesa.

With arms wide open to the Guanabara Bay, the statue of the Christ the Redeemer is a work of art that cannot be compared to anything else.
