Beautiful view of the city. You can take an Uber from the house to here. It is close to Christo so you can walk there after you are done visiting but you must climb a a very steep, paved road to get there.

My favorite place in Rio, the largest urban forest in the world! There are endless trails (trilhas) and waterfalls! On super hot days I prefer to go here over the beach - it is the best place to beat the heat!
