Chapel, art and nature

Capela Mayrink

A small pink chapel inside Tijuca Forest

Photo of Capela Mayrink

Capela Mayrink is surrounded by Tijuca National Park’s vegetation and has paintings attributed to Cândido Portinari.

The religious paintings and contrast between the pink chapel and the forest.

History

The chapel was built on a former private property later incorporated into the park.

My tip

Do not treat it as a standalone visit: it is in the forest and should be part of a park outing. Respect conservation closures.

Opening hours, tickets, programming and visiting conditions may change. Check with the institution before traveling.
