Parque Lage is a beautiful park located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Situated at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain in the southern part of the city, the park is a true green oasis amidst the urban hustle and bustle. At the heart of the park is the beautiful neoclassical mansion known as Palácio Lage, built in the early 20th century. The mansion currently houses the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage), where art courses and workshops are offered. The gardens surrounding the Palácio are an invitation for leisurely walks and nature appreciation.

A waterfall bath during the hiking to Christ the Redeemer can be a great way to relax and rejuvenate. It can help to soothe muscles that have been overworked!
