What to expect

At the foot of Corcovado, Parque Lage pairs tropical gardens and forest trails with a historic mansion and central courtyard. It is a public park and a worthwhile separate stop from the beaches. The mansion's palacete is currently closed for restoration, so plan around the gardens and grounds rather than expecting to visit its interior.
