About

Connecting the Tijuca Forest with the inhabitants of Saboia Lima lies a hidden and wondrous square.

More than 40 sculptures in Naïf style and even a bandstand made by professor Paulo de Tarso, enchant both kids and adults inside this sculpture park. Animals, Brazilian book characters, and even a pyramid all composed of concrete are constantly visited by the neighborhood kids.

Trapicheiros River runs behind the square with cold, clean water.
