Our first stop will be the Tijuca Forest, located in the center of Rio de Janeiro. We'll visit one of the largest urban forests in the world, where we'll be able to see animals such as squirrels, monkeys, and armadillos, as well as different species of butterflies, birds, and reptiles.

Then, we'll be heading to our next destination, but on our way, we'll stop at the Vista Chinesa viewpoint, the Taunay waterfall, the Capela Mayrink and its pink facade, and another viewpoint from which we'll admire a beautiful view of the monolithic Pedra da Gávea and Christ the Redeemer.

Once there, we'll also visit the Frei Landro Lake, the Chafariz das Musas sculpture, the beautiful Japanese Garden, and the Orchidarium. We'll be able to admire its varied species of tropical plants, such as bromeliads and orchids.
