Rio’s core grew from a 16th-century port into a colonial capital; nineteenth-century reforestation efforts created today’s Tijuca urban forest and shaped the city’s dramatic green hills.
Tijuca is a restored urban forest—stay on designated paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and pack out trash to protect wildlife and fragile vegetation.
