With dense vegetation and walking trails that lead you through glorious scenery, Floresta da Tijuca is a haven for outdoor adventurers. Vivid birds, scurrying insects and weird and wonderful plants can all be found here.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when spending time in Santa Teresa. Floresta da Tijuca is a good place to start here, but there are loads of other fine sights to explore. Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and Maracanã Stadium are not far from the biodiverse ecosystem and will top off your day nicely.

8.8/10 Excellent! (838 reviews)

Room was tiny (as expected right here on the beach) but spotless. Most of all, the location is incredible, and the staff incredibly helpful. We had many hours after checking out of our room while waiting the airport, and the staff let us continue to use all the hotel amenities, including the incredible pool and view over Copacabana Beach from the sky deck. Six stars out of five!
