The forest in paths, viewpoints and silence
A visual selection that translates the presence of the Atlantic Forest in Rio: vegetation, viewpoints and paths that reveal another dimension of the city.
The forest as an essential part of Rio
The proposal of this route is to perceive that Rio is not just a city with nature around it. Nature is part of the city’s own structure: it orients landscapes, marks neighborhoods, creates viewpoints, influences the climate, inspires ways of living and reveals a complex environmental history.
Living nature
Observation of the forest, its sounds, textures, shadows, paths and forms of presence in Carioca everyday life.
Landscape and viewpoints
Reading of the city from elevated points of view, connecting relief, neighborhoods, sea, mountains and forest.
Environmental history
Conversations about landscape transformation, reforestation, uses of the territory and the relationship between city and nature.
An experience of contemplation, movement and landscape interpretation
The route may vary according to weather, conditions of the day, logistics and group profile. The idea is to build a pleasant experience connected to the participants’ rhythm.
Forest paths
Contact with trails, internal roads or circulation areas amid vegetation, always according to the agreed format.
Viewpoints and city reading
Pauses to observe Rio’s geography and understand how mountains, sea, neighborhoods and forest relate.
Photography and contemplation
Time to record landscapes, forest details and moments of silence or observation.
Stories of the territory
Context about occupation, landscape transformation and the importance of Tijuca Forest to Carioca identity.
Adaptable rhythm
The experience can be more contemplative, photographic, cultural or active, according to the group’s interest.

A way to understand the city not only through the urban, but also through the permanent presence of nature in its everyday life.
