Jardim Botânico
The exotic Jardim Botânico, housing over 8000 plant species, was designed by order of Prince Regent Dom João in 1808. It’s quiet and serene on weekdays and blossoms with families and music on weekends. A pleasant outdoor café overlooks the gardens. Take insect repellent.

Parque da Catacumba
This park and sculptural garden added some new adventure activities in 2010, including a 7m rock-climbing wall (R$15), a zipline (R$10), rappelling down a 30m rock-face (R$40) and a canopy walk (R$30) through the treetops. It’s free to simply stroll through the park, and there’s a short but steep trail (15 miutes’ walking) to the Mirante do Sacopã, which offers scenic views from a height of 130m above Lagoa. It’s operated by Lagoa Aventuras.
