Directions

A protected natural area connecting several forest fragments between Santa Teresa and Alto da Boa Vista, with trails that feel genuinely wild despite being close to the city center. Birdwatchers prize it for Atlantic Forest species rarely seen elsewhere in the city, and the trails are used by a small community of dedicated hikers. It is less organized than Tijuca with fewer signposted trails, making it best explored with a local guide. This is a park for those who want authentic nature, not a manicured experience.
