Things to do in Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Nature & Parks

November 15, 2021 Weston Hennigan

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Primarily a recreation area for Cariocas, the 5-mile pathway circling the lake is popular for walkers, skaters, and cyclists. In the evening there may be live music, and kiosks serving drinks and food.

This is the lagoon which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. Its a very pretty sight. You can just sit and watch the beauty of nature.
