Nature lovers can explore Rio’s diversity through a guided visit to the Botanical Garden and Tijuca Forest. Highlights at the garden include towering imperial palms, the Sensory Garden, the Rainforest Greenhouse, and the celebrated Orchidarium. Visitors encounter tranquil lakes, the Japanese Garden, and wildlife such as monkeys and toucans. The tour then ventures into Tijuca Forest to see Taunay Waterfall, walk easy trails, and learn about the Atlantic Forest ecosystem. Stops include Vista Chinesa (except on weekends) for city views and a scenic drive past São Conrado beach, where hang-gliders can be seen soaring overhead.
