Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My opinion would be GOOD

Apr 2024 • Couples

800m from the TAUNAY CASCATINHA. It is a pink chapel built in 1855. Apparently it is open from 2 to 4 p.m., and on the first Sunday of the month there is mass at 12 p.m. The surroundings are nice to walk if you want.

Capela linda dentro da Floresta da Tijuca

Feb 2021 • Family

Uma Linda Capela Cor de Rosa na Floresta da Tijuca, construída em 1855. No Altar a uma réplica de uma obra de Cândido Portinari. O pintor fez quatro quadros para a Capela intitulados: “Nossa Senhora do Carmo com o menino Jesus no colo”; “São Simão Stock”; “São João da Cruz”; e o “Purgatório”. Hoje, os originais estão sob custódia do Museu Nacional de Belas Artes, após ter sido resgatada de um roubo.

Na área externa tem um pé de Cambucá, uma fruta deliciosa que está em extinção no território brasileiro.

Está aberta diariamente das 14h às 16h. Todo primeiro domingo do mês tem uma missa às 12h.

Uma capela em meio a floresta

Aug 2017 • Friends

A bela Capela Mayrink se integra bem a paisagem do Parque Nacional da Tijuca, singela e com um ar bucólico que lhe confere graça, a pequena igreja parece ser feita sobre medida para o local. Sobre sua fundação, pairam dúvidas e polêmicas entre familiares do Conselheiro Mayrink (uma personalidade econômico-financeira do Brasil Império) que adquiriu a localidade no final do século XIX e pesquisadores. Mas independente da sua data de fundação (que ocorreu por meados do século XIX), a capela é um local de extrema beleza, tanto que foi prestigiada por Portinari, com telas que foram retiradas e trocadas por réplicas.
