Parque Nacional da Tijuca

The Tijuca National Park is home to several waterfalls, perfect for cooling off on hot days. Some require moderate hiking, while others are a quick walk away. The Cachoeira das Almas is a cascade over rocks (no pool), while Cachoeira do Horto offers a natural swimming hole nestled between two large stones. One of the most stunning is Cachoeira da Gruta, where water streams from a dramatic fissure in the rock. Pick your favorite, map your route, and enjoy!
