Tijuca Forest and Botanical Garden Expedition
Experience the tropical magnificence of Rio de Janeiro with our Botanical Gardens tour, also known as Jardim Botânico, which showcases the city's natural diversity. This world-renowned attraction is situated in the district of the same name, providing a serene escape from the bustling metropolis. Next, we'll take you on a journey up the winding mountain road (Estrada da Vista Chinesa) to Vista Chinesa overlook point, where you can soak in the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Tijuca National Forest. As the world's largest urban forest, this protected sub-tropical cloud forest spans an impressive 32 km² entirely within the city limits of Rio de Janeiro. Once inside the forest, we'll visit the Taunay Waterfall and Mayrink Chapel. The pastel pink chapel is a hidden gem, adorned with murals by the renowned Brazilian painter, Cândido Portinari. The chapel's snug and simplistic design creates an intimate and peaceful atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking tranquility. Lastly, we'll stop at São Conrado, one of Rio's most beautiful beaches, where you can unwind and soak up the sun. With its crystal clear waters and pristine sand, São Conrado is the perfect spot to relax after an exhilarating day of exploring Rio's natural wonders.
