Vista Chinesa
The Vista Chinesa viewpoint is a tribute to this eastern country, as a way of honoring the Chinese immigrants who brought the cultivation of herbal teas to our country in the 19th century.

Built between 1902 and 1906 by Luis Rey, the architect made a point of designing the observation deck 380 meters above the sea in a place that had a panoramic view of the city. He nailed it, didn't he?

Note: This viewpoint is not open on weekends

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Floresta da Tijuca
First major reforestation project in the world, started in 1861. After the almost total destruction of the forest for charcoal production and coffee planting, the water sources that supplied the city began to dry up. Then began a major process of expropriation of coffee farms and replanting of over 100,000 trees. Visiting the lush forests of Tijuca National Park 150 years later allows us to see how nature has an incredible capacity for recovery when man realizes the impacts he causes and takes concrete measures.

Inside the forest through the road we will visit viewpoints and waterfall

2 hours • Admission Ticket Not Included
