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.

9/10 Wonderful! (269 reviews)

Was doubled charged for the room and refund took an effort. Room had only one bed and was different and smaller than the pictures on Expedia. Staff gave us an upgrade after complaining and it was better, but a bit dusty.
