The diversity of attractions is the highlight of this section that connects the Jardim Botânico neighborhood to Paineiras, along a route filled with streams and waterfalls, such as the Primates waterfall. A visit to the Christ the Redeemer statue is a must. Some viewpoints offer a privileged view of the city from unusual angles, such as the one overlooking Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas with the sea in the background and Morro Dois Irmãos to the right.
