Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca is a vast natural reserve located in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The park covers an area of over 12,500 hectares, making it the largest urban forest in the world. The park is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including endangered species such as the golden lion tamarin and the maned wolf.
Visitors to the park can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and birdwatching. There are over 100 kilometers of trails that wind through the park, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The park is also home to several waterfalls and natural pools, which provide a refreshing break from the heat of the city.
One of the highlights of the park is Pedra da Gávea, a massive granite rock formation that towers over the surrounding landscape. Climbing to the top of Pedra da Gávea is a challenging but rewarding experience, offering panoramic views of the city and the ocean beyond.
The park is also an important cultural site, with several archaeological sites dating back to pre-Columbian times. Visitors can explore the ruins of ancient settlements and learn about the history of the indigenous peoples who once lived in the area.
