Lonely Planet review

This beautiful park, at the base of Parque Nacional da Tijuca, is about 1km from Jardim Botânico. It has English-style gardens, little lakes and a mansion that now houses the Instituto Nacional de Belas Artes, which often hosts art exhibitions and occasional performances. The park is a tranquil place and particularly popular on weekends when the Café du Lage whips up a delightful brunch. Native Atlantic rain forest surrounds Parque Lage.

This is the starting point for challenging hikes up Corcovado (best to go with a guide).
