Directions

A peaceful hilltop park in Gávea offering sweeping views over São Conrado beach, the Pedra da Gávea rock, and the ocean beyond. The park has shaded walking paths, a small museum of the city, and a relaxed atmosphere that draws locals for morning walks and weekend picnics. It sits adjacent to the Gávea Golf Club and feels worlds away from the tourist circuit. Getting there requires a car or taxi as public transport access is limited.
