Parque Lage, Public park in Jardim Botanico, Brazil.
The mansion at Parque Lage features classical architecture with columns, arches, and a central courtyard pool reflecting the Corcovado Mountain in the background.
The property transformed from a private residence into a public park after industrialist Henrique Lage and his wife Gabriella Besanzoni commissioned Italian architect Mario Vodret in 1920.
The Visual Arts School operates within the mansion walls, offering regular art courses and exhibitions that showcase Brazilian contemporary creations.
Visitors access the park daily from 8 AM through trails connecting to different sections, including the mansion café, art galleries, and garden areas.
The central courtyard pool creates perfect symmetrical reflections of both the historical mansion architecture and the Corcovado Mountain with Christ the Redeemer.

Rio de Janeiro is more than a city; it is a living backdrop. Between mountains and sea, the Brazilian metropolis showcases its most famous landscapes: Christ the Redeemer overlooking Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf shining in the sun, Ipanema and Copacabana beaches where music and sand never sleep. But Rio is not just postcards. In the streets of Santa Teresa, colorful azulejos climb the Selarón stairs, museums reinvent the modern city, parks hide tropical forests, and lookouts reveal stunning panoramas. From samba to nature, from colonial heritage to futuristic architecture, each neighborhood tells a different face of Rio. Here are the must-visit places to experience its energy, beauty, and the unique joie de vivre.
