Sumario:Tijuca National Park, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, is one of the largest conservation units in an urban center. It has 3.953ha of area divided into four sectors: Floresta da Tijuca, Serra da Carioca, Pedra Bonita and Pedra da Gávea and Pretos Forros and Covanca. The first three sectors are open to the and register the largest visitation among the Brazilian Parks. It is characterized by the great variety of habitat with altitudes ranging from 80 to 1.021m, has rocky outcrops, streams and waterfalls. It harbour more than a third of ferns and lycophytes species indicated for the state of Rio de Janeiro including endemic and rare. Existing trails have varying degrees of difficulty. Thus, this study clipped the Student's Trail, because it is self-guided and has previously installed interpretive plates that favor the recognition of this plant group by students. The specimens were photographed, collected, herborized, identified and deposited in the Research Institute Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden herbarium. Thus, 21 ferns and lycophytes species were selected to compose a script and a photographic guide in order to spread the knowledge of the groups in the Student's Trail.
