Park area furthest from Rio, with 2 hiking trails: Circuit dos picos and Circuit do Vale Histórico

It is the most remote area of the park from Rio, located further inland and higher up. It can be reached by the road from Cosmo Velho to Tijuca. Here there are two main hiking trails, which must be done with a guide, as the path is not very well marked:

Circuit of the "dos picos", connecting the peaks of Papagayo and Tijuca on 19 km of path also passing by Tijuca Mirim, Archer, Morro do Anhanguera, Excelsior Pedra do Conde, Morro da Taquara, Castelos da Taquara and Cocanha. Quite difficult because of the difference in altitude, for experienced hikers especially if it is very hot.

Circuit do " Vale Histórico", a 7.5 km path passing through the ruins, fountains and monuments of the old coffee fazendas. You will be surprised to discover a Wallace fountain in the middle of nature, or the Mayrink chapel. Optionally, 4 caves can be visited by an additional path.

Good plan: free guided tours are offered every Thursday at 9 am at the park visitor centre (arrive at 8.30 am on foot, as there is a 30 minute walk up to include). The first is the "Slave Route", which highlights the work of slaves on the coffee plantations (passes through Cachoeira das Almas, Lago das Fadas and as Ruínas do Midosi). The second is the "Artists' Path", following in the footsteps of the painters Nicolas Taunay and Cândido Portinari, but also of the landscape artists Glaziou and Burle Marx. It passes through the Capela Mayrink, the Mirante da Cascatinha and the Recanto dos Artistas.
