If you are visiting the city of Rio and need to take a break in a city that has so much to visit, schedule in your agenda this resting spot - Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. The perfect place to turn your feet off and enjoy a small pause, enjoying the relaxation surroundings, with some snack to eat and the perfect scenario in the background with the Lagoon water. Look up, and peek at the Christ the Redeemer, which can be sighted from the Lagoon. After catching up your breath, check all the leisure activities you can practice.
It is here that the “cariocas” take advantage of their free time to reconcile themselves with nature and give the body the physical activity it needs. Whether in water, with excellent conditions for water sports such as rowing and canoeing - where you will find traditional rowing clubs and other recreational clubs - or on dry land, in the 8 kilometers course that surround the Lagoon. A track where the locals go for a walk, run, or pedal. You will also find recreational spaces on the banks of the Lagoon, such as the Tom Jobim Park, which gathers several activities and leisure areas to spend a good morning or a good afternoon.
Practical Information Must go up to Pão de Açúcar to observe the Lagoon above 400 meters from the sea level, and enjoy also a visit to the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, which is very close by.
