During the experience, you'll visit the Tijuca Forest, considered the largest replanted urban forest in the world and one of the greatest examples of environmental recovery in an urban area. In addition to its beautiful Taunay Waterfall, you'll see the Visitor Center and historical viewpoints such as the Emperor's Table and the Chinese Viewpoint.

There will also be a hike immersing you in the Atlantic Forest, with the chance to observe centuries-old trees such as kapok trees, eucalyptus trees, and jackfruit trees, waterfalls, and local fauna such as marmosets, monkeys, coatis, squirrels, sloths, and birds.

Vehicle access to Chinese View is permitted only from Monday to Friday.
