Aterro do Flamengo Tour

Popularly known as the Aterro or landfill, its 1.2 million m² of lawns, flowering shrubs and trees are one of the loveliest and most important landscaping projects designed by Roberto Burle Marx.

Running along the shoreline from the Santos Dumont Airport to Botafogo Bay, this park offers a wide array of attractions.

An interesting itinerary starts at the Modern Art Museum, continuing past the Monument to World War II, the Marina da Gloria and the Carmen Miranda Museum, ending at the Monument to Estácio de Sá, founder of the City of Rio de Janeiro. An unforgettable spectacle on the first Sunday of each month is the changing of the guard by all three Armed Forces, at the Monument to World War II Soldier.

On Sundays and holidays, this park is closed to traffic, offering the public numerous recreation options.
