This region is part of the Atlantic Forest, reforested in the 19th century to safeguard the springs supplying water to the city. In a jeep, you'll navigate the trails of the world's largest urban forest. Amidst dense vegetation, picturesque waterfalls, and breathtaking vistas, we pause at the Chinese Viewpoint. This site, blending Asian and Brazilian influences, offers stunning views of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Guanabara Bay. As we journey through the forest, spotting monkeys, exotic birds, and occasionally sloths is common. Our guide will assist in locating them and provide insights into the wildlife inhabiting this extraordinary ecosystem. To wrap up the tour, we make a brief stop at Pepino Beach, renowned as the landing site for hang-gliding enthusiasts from Pedra Bonita. The serene ocean views and the descent of paragliders create memorable images from this vantage point.
