Let´s head together from Christ to the Tijuca Forest! If you already have seen Sugar Loaf, this city tour could be a great option for you. Tijuca Forest is the fourth largest urban forest in the world. Being located in the middle of Rio, the forest has borders with all the 4 zones of Rio. Recovered and back to life, Tijuca Forest, which was almost completely deforested for coffee planting, is now the lung of the city of Rio de Janeiro. It has an area of 4 thousand hectares, having 95% of this area reforested by D. Pedro II over 13 years, from 1861. - Pick-up at your place in the south or central zone of the city. - Christ Redeemer by Van. - Dona Marta viewpoint. - Chinese View: from this chinese pagoda you will see a view with a different perspective of the city (closed on weekends and holidays). - Taunay Waterfall: waterfall painted several times by french artist Taunay. - Drop-off at your place
