Rio’s Urban Forest

Standing at 1,021 meters above sea level, Tijuca Peak is the highest summit within Rio de Janeiro. This guided hike takes you deep into Tijuca National Park, through lush Atlantic Forest and up to a breathtaking 360° view over the city, the bay, and the surrounding mountain ranges. The trail is well-maintained and accessible to anyone with a decent fitness level, and the final ascent – a narrow stone staircase carved into the rock – is unforgettable. If you’re looking to combine nature, altitude, and a sense of achievement, this is the hike.
