Catacumba Park

Parque da Catacumba is located in the Lagoa neighborhood, just 20 minutes walk from Ipanema. It is a park with tropical plants and Atlantic coastal forest  with stone paths and steps which lead through the park.

The lower section of the park houses some sculptures, and then the path leads to the top of a hill or a small mountain. From here on the path is no longer made of stones but it becomes a woodland path. The view that stretches from  the top of the trail is really amazing. Visitors can see the Lagoa, Two Brothers Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, Ipanema, Leblon, and Gavea.

Even though the entrance to the park is free one can always choose some of the additional activities offered here. There is a zip line, a canopy walk, rock-climbing wall…
