The luxuriant vegetation of the huge Tijuca forest stretches almost to the very heart of the city. Five rivers flow through the forest, and thanks to its hilly terrain which takes in two summits over 1000 metres high, there are impressive waterfalls. There are several different routes to explore it, one of the most pleasant starting in the Jardin Botánico gardens in Rio and heading up towards Corcovado, and the heart of the equatorial forest.
