Itinerary
After hotel pick ups, you will visit the Botanical Garden. Founded in 1808 by King John VI of Portugal, The Botanical Garden shows the diversity of Brazilian and foreign flora. The 140-hectare park lies at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below the right arm of the statue of Christ the Redeemer and contains more than 6,000 different species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees, including 900 varieties of palm trees.
The Garden also houses monuments of historical, artistic and archaeological significance. The Botanical Garden has an important research institute, which develops a wide range of botanical studies in Brazil.
Next, discover the lushness of one of the world's largest urban forest with a 2-hour guided tour. Surrounded by the busy metropolis of Rio de Janeiro - enjoy your oasis in nature as you experience greenery in the middle of an urban jungle. Admire Cascatinha Taunay, an iconic waterfall perfect for photos, and explore the Visitor Center to learn about local biodiversity on an easy hike with a guide, giving you the chance to spot monkeys, birds and butterflies — even sloths!
