Safer getting around
Rio’s wild side lives next door.
Tijuca Forest is one of the largest urban rainforests in the world, and it is full of neighbours: monkeys, sloths, toucans and tropical birds. They are wild, so nothing is guaranteed. That is the point.
Marmoset
Small, quick and curious. They move in family groups through the trees, so listen for high-pitched whistles before you see them.
Sloth
Look up into the canopy. Still, patient and easy to mistake for a clump of leaves until it slowly turns its head.
Toucan
That famous beak is surprisingly light. Keep an eye on the forest edges, where the fruit trees are.
One day, six Rios.
Scroll the sun across the sky. Each hour opens a different city.
