Tijuca Forest, one of the most famous and diverse forests in Brazil

Tijuca National Park is divided into four sectors: Tijuca Forest, Carioca Ridge, Pedra Bonita/Pedra da Gávea, and Pretos Forros/Covanca. We at Paineiras-Corcovado are located in the Tijuca Forest sector, in the midst of the world's largest replanted urban forest!

THE PARK

Due to its 120 square kilometers of trees, the Park was designated a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1991.

In the heart of the Atlantic Forest, the Park is a biodiversity hotspot, with approximately 1,619 plant species and over 320 animal species. However, a significant portion of these species is threatened with extinction.

A visit to the Paineiras Visitor Center is an immersion into this green paradise in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. A true reunion with nature.
