Nestled at the foot of Corcovado Mountain, Parque Lage was once the residence of industrialist Enrique Lage and singer Gabriella Besanzoni. The park is enveloped by lush Atlantic rainforest, where the sounds of monkeys and birds fill the air. Visitors can explore the compact grounds, which offer a serene escape from the bustling city. The historic mansion, now an art school, stands as a centerpiece, surrounded by walking paths and tranquil gardens. Today, guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll, a meal at the on-site café, or simply soak in the natural beauty and historical charm of this urban oasis.
