Trail of the Jatobás

People I met on the trail told me Trail of the Jatobás is the name. Jatobá is the name of the tree in one of the pictures. In any case, this trail is worth taking on a hot summer day, when the beach is much too crowded, because at its end there is a great waterfall. Not to be compared to Iguassú, but still, a great relief after the approximately 500 mts of up and down.
To get there you go to the end of Rua Pacheco Leão, which actually starts on Jardim Botânico, though you have to go up Lopes Quintas to reach it because it is one-way. Anyway, take Pacheco Leão all the way and you will get to Floresta da Tijuca, the biggest urban forest in the world or so they say. After passing a crowded waterfall, you don~t want to go there, follow the road until you see just a few cars, parked on the right, and the beginning of a trail
There you are, enjoy.
Afterwards, you can either continue to Vista Chinesa, or go back down and stop for a good lunch, or just choppe, at the Bar da Graça.
