Parque Lage is a peaceful shady park near the Jardim Botanico with a soaring view of Christ the Redeemer right behind it (but not near the train that goes up Corcovado). You can stroll the trails and then visit the beautiful historic Enrique Lage mansion.The mansion houses the Visual Arts School of Parque Lage and you can watch students painting... More

I had a nice lunch at the small cafe and wandered the grounds. Very peaceful and I enjoyed the quiet in a very busy city.

I got off the bus from Cosmo Vehlo here on the way to the Botanical Gardens. It looked beautiful, so I ventured into the Park. It's beautiful and tranquil. The buildings at the top include a small modern art space, and a lovely little cafe where I ate lunch. The people there couldn't have been nicer. I was really glad... More

Good food in the nice cafe in a gorgeous setting. The highlight is the park itself though. Impressive nature, lovely trails that are all very easy, except for the big one up to Corcovado which is a bit more serious

Parque Lage is an nice place for those who love the nature. You can enjoy the "green" there, and there are awesome places to have a nice breakfast. Go to Parque Lage and Botanical Gardens (Jardim Botanico) at the same day, they are close.

Very nice park, covered with Atlantic forest and crossed by many paths, you can see birds and small monkeys. There are some cascades, where you can relax and refresh. There is also an old house in the park, very beautiful, french architecture, a good place to have breakfast!

Immediately below the Statue of the Christ, this park offers several trekking opportunities for beginners and experts. Families and beginners can enjoy the standard park tour to visit the lake, grottos, waterways, waterfalls and a surprising aquarium. But if you are really looking for a serious trekking opportunity, I suggest you to try the trail to the Corcovado. The trip... More

A home that belonged to one of the richest men in Brasil, who built it for his wife (an Italian opera singer)... After their deaths, it was bought over by the government & now stands as a School of Art with a very cute restaurant on site (popular for its Sunday brunches) & a beautiful view of Christ the Redeemer...
