Discover the lush natural beauty of the Botanical Gardens and Parque Lage, two gems of Rio de Janeiro nestled at the foot of the majestic Corcovado mountain. This approximately 4-hour tour will take you to explore two of the city’s most fascinating spots, where historical architecture and untamed nature blend in harmony.
We begin the tour with hotel pick-up and head to the Jardim Botânico neighborhood. Founded in 1808 by King D. João VI for the introduction of useful tropical species, it now houses an impressive collection of over 7,000 species of tropical plants, bromeliads, orchids, and native Brazilian flora. This is the perfect place to breathe fresh air, walk among century-old trees, and enjoy the tranquility of this green oasis in the heart of the city.
Next, we visit Parque Lage, a charming public park with English-style gardens, forest trails, and mysterious man-made caves. In the center of the park, you’ll find a grand mansion that takes you back in time. As you stroll through the gardens, you'll hear fascinating stories about the construction of both sites and their historical and cultural significance.
At the end of the tour, we return comfortably to your hotel. This tour is available twice a day, in the morning or afternoon, and includes a professional guide, round-trip transport, and entry to Parque Lage, ensuring a complete and enriching experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore these stunning locations filled with history, nature, and beauty!
