Visiting Tijuca Forest and the Botanical Garden is a stroll in time and history.
Without doubt the most beautiful garden in Rio! Founded by the King of Portugal, D. João, for over 200 years the Rio Botanical Garden has a collection of about 1500 plant species, is visited by birds, capuchin monkeys, squirrels, butterflies and other animals of the Tijuca National Park fauna. .
We will stroll along the shaded alleys and tell a little of the history of this magical place, then climb to the Chinese Vista to admire the view of the south of the city with the little waterfall of Macacos to cool off!
Chinese view and botanical garden are environmental protection areas and are part of the green lung of our city.
