Redeemer Road (Estrada do Redentor, aka. Paineiras)

The Tijuca National Park is divided into three visitation sectors - Forest, Serra da Carioca and Pedra Bonita/Pedra da Gávea - and has program options for everyone: from picnic and barbecue areas to hang gliding, climbing, hiking and other activities. Among the country's famous postcards, we have Corcovado Mountain, where the statue of Christ the Redeemer is located, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, Vista Chinesa, Pedra da Gávea, Parque Lage and Paineiras. Besides the famous monument, visitors can observe from several points in the Serra da Carioca Sector the impressive view of Rio, such as Vista Chinesa and Mirante Dona Marta. The Horto Waterfalls, the Paineiras, the pleasant Parque Lage, and the Transcarioca Trail are also important local attractions. Right above of the Corcovado, the Estrada do Redentor (redeemer's road - Paineiras) is one of the access routes to Christ the Redeemer. Along the way, you will come across mineral water springs and natural showers, as well as several viewpoints with exceptional views of Rio de Janeiro's South Zone, including Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, and the Cagarras Islands Natural Monument.
