Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas is such a peaceful and beautiful spot in Rio, perfect for a relaxing day out. The lagoon is surrounded by stunning views of the mountains, including Christ the Redeemer in the distance, and it’s a great place for walking, cycling, or just sitting by the water. One of the highlights of my visit was spotting a capybara hanging out by the lagoon—it was such a fun and unexpected moment! The area feels very close to nature, even though it’s right in the city. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape or a scenic place to exercise, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

What a fabulous place with more amazing views of different aspects of the city. For the part we covered (north and east), there were cycle and walking lanes following the shoreline of the lagoon. Every now and then I couldn’t resist stopping to capture the landscape/cityscapes unfolding before my eyes.

One of my favourite places to relax and chill. Can get a bit crowded on public holidays or weekends. Great circuit for running or casual cycling with stunning views.

Great for a stroll, jog, or bike ride with some different views of the area all the way around. There’s even a little dock along the path that’s perfect for a selfie.

Great place to exercise. Run, ride a bike...

The lagoon is massive & spills out to the Atlantic Ocean via a small canal running through the city. This is the same lagoon the media heralded as overly polluted prior to the World Cup and Olympics. This is not the case! It is blue and tranquil.

Amazing view We did the ducking ride for an hour Could see both Cristo and Pão de Açúcar from there
