Why go

It is largely hand-planted as much of the original forest was destroyed to make way for coffee plantations. Despite this it contains hundreds of species, many of which are threatened with extinction. Corcovado is to the east of the park but if you really want to appreciate what the park has to offer you have to drive along some windy, hilly roads and get out and hike. This sector of the park can be reached via Rua Boa Vista, and from São Conrado in Zona Oeste.
