Explore the trails and waterfalls of the vast Tijuca National Park, a rainforest within the city limits.
- World-Famous Beach Culture: Experience the social theater of Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, each with its own postos (lifeguard towers) defining the local scene—from family-friendly areas to LGBTQ+ friendly stretches. Join a game of footvolley or simply soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
