Trilha do Rio Carioca

The Carioca River Trail is a dive into the history and nature of Rio de Janeiro. With an easy level of difficulty, the route follows the course of the river that gave its name to the city's inhabitants. The path crosses sections of Atlantic Forest and passes by landmarks such as the famous Caixa da Mãe d'Água and the historic Carioca Aqueduct. Along the walk, it is possible to observe ruins of 18th-century water catchments and vegetation that tells the story of the formation and preservation of the park.
