Discover more about Parque Natural Municipal Dois Irmãos - Dois Cariocas - Sérgio Bernardes e Alfredo Sirkis

Parque Natural Municipal Dois Irmãos, also known as Parque Natural Municipal Penhasco Dois Irmãos – Dois Cariocas – Sérgio Bernardes e Alfredo Sirkis, is a hidden gem nestled in the Leblon neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Created in 1992, the park spans nearly 40 hectares of preserved Atlantic Forest, offering visitors a refreshing escape from the city. The park's history dates back to colonial times when the area was used for sugarcane cultivation and grazing. In the early 20th century, urban development led to the parcelling of land for housing, forming what is now known as Alto Leblon. However, environmental movements and community interest led to reforestation efforts and the park's establishment as a protected area. Today, visitors can explore well-maintained trails, discover diverse plant and animal species, and enjoy breathtaking views from six different viewpoints. The park offers vistas of iconic landmarks such as the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, the Botanical Garden, Christ the Redeemer, and the beaches of Leblon and Ipanema. The park also features playgrounds, sports courts, and gardens, making it an ideal destination for families and nature lovers. For those seeking a more adventurous experience, the Janela do Céu trail leads to the base of the smaller of the Dois Irmãos peaks. This 1.5km trail is suitable for beginners and offers unique perspectives of the surrounding landscape.
