Pico da Tijuca, Mountain peak in Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Pico da Tijuca is a 1,022-metre mountain in Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro, the second-highest point in the city after Pico da Pedra Branca. Its lower and middle slopes are covered in dense dark green vegetation, with two rounded, partly bare rocky peaks near the top. A staircase of 117 steps cut into the rock leads to the summit.

Pico da Tijuca lies within Tijuca National Park, a 3,958.41-hectare protected area established in 1961. The stone staircase before the summit, with its 117 steps, was built according to legend for Belgian King Albert I during his 1920 visit to Rio de Janeiro.

The 117-step staircase cut into the rock just below the summit is named after King Albert I of Belgium, who visited Rio de Janeiro in 1920; legend holds it was built for his visit. The peak's name comes from the Tijuca area and is shared with the national park that surrounds it.

The summit is reached by a 10 km loop trail through Tijuca National Park. Before the top, a 117-step staircase cut into the rock lies in full sun. The summit gives a full 360-degree view over the city of Rio de Janeiro.

The summit provides a distinctive vantage point for observing diverse flora and fauna endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, including orchids, bromeliads, monkeys, and various bird species native to the region.
