About Tijuca

Tijuca National Park is one of the world's largest urban forests and home to the famous Christ the Redeemer statue. The park features lush Atlantic rainforest, numerous waterfalls, and hiking trails. It was created through a successful reforestation project in the 19th century and now serves as a crucial green space for Rio de Janeiro.
