Probably the climb that penetrates deepest into the parque national da Tijuca. The road surface is moderate, but nature more than compensates. The climb begins after passing the park rangers.

Probably the climb that penetrates deepest into the parque national da Tijuca. The road surface is moderate, but nature more than compensates. The climb begins after passing the park rangers. Pretty soon the first highlight follows, the wonderful waterfall called "Cascatinha Taunay". After that, the climb winds through the Jungle with all kinds of curves. Another highlight is the pretty little chapel "Capela Mayrink". Only the summit is a bit disappointing. Not a nice viewpoint, but a sort of plaza where the hike to the top of the Pico de Tijuca begins.

Waarschijnlijk de klim die het diepst het parque national da Tijuca binnendringt. Het wegdek is matig, maar de natuur compenseert dat ruim. De klim begint na het passeren van de parkwachters. Vrij snel volgt al het eerste hoogtepunt, de wonderschone waterval genaamd "Cascatinha Taunay". Daarna slingert de klim zich met allerlei soorten bochten door de Jungle. Een volgend hoogtepunt is het mooie kapelletje "Capela Mayrink". Alleen de top is wat teleurstellend. Geen mooi uitzichtpunt, maar een soort pleintje waar de hike naar de top van de Pico de Tijuca begint.
