Chinese View
We will stop at the Chinese belveder, built in 1906 in honor of the Chinese community that lived around that area in the 19th century. They came to implant the importation and cultivation of tea in Brazil. The Vista Chinesa monument offers a wide panorama full of green view of Rio's South Zone.

Cascatinha Taunay
We will then enter the main sector of the forest and stop at the highest waterfall in town, the Cascatinha. This part of the forest was home to many coffee plantation farms in the 19th century and we will still see some of the legacy left behind.

Museu do Acude
and to complete this amazing experience, we will stop at the Museu do Açude that exhibits the collections of glazed tiles and porcelain dinnerware from Porto, oriental art and applied arts. The property in Alto da Boa Vista was acquired in 1913 and remodeled in the 1920s. It is located in the middle of Floresta da Tijuca, in a 151.132m² area, which comprises four buildings. Museu do Açude was created in 1964, and since the 1990s it has adopted the integral heritage perspective, allying cultural to natural heritage.
