Outdoors Things to Do in Rio de Janeiro

  • The Best of NileGuide

  • When it comes to outdoor activities, Rio de Janeiro beats most other major cities hands down. With fantastic rock formations jutting right out into the crashing waves, and the vast jungle of Tijuca National park sitting within the city limits, the scope for adventurous outdoor things to do in Rio is almost limitless.

    But the outdoor attractions of Rio de Janeiro don't have to be about adrenaline-pumping adventure, there is plenty of opportunity for boat trips to isolated islands and swimming in calm, clear waters - a trip down the coast to Angra dos Reis provides ample opportunity for island hopping, while Rio's vast city lake, Lagoa, invites visitors to run, walk or cycle its perimeter, or even take a pedal boat ride out onto the waters.

    The beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are possibly Rio de Janeiro's greatest outdoor attractions, and throng with locals and tourists alike whenever the sun shines. For those not content with soaking up some tropical sun and watching the beach beauties pass by, vast sections of the beaches are devoted to sports - from football/soccer and volleyball to capoeira - and you don't have to be an expert to join in.
