About Olympic Equestrian Centre At Deodoro Olympic Park
The Olympic Equestrian Centre at Deodoro Olympic Park is a day-one reference for equestrian competition in Rio de Janeiro. Located in the National Equestrian Centre within Parque Olímpico de Deodoro, this permanent outdoor facility hosts training and competition across disciplines like cross-country, dressage, and jumping. Since opening in 2007 and undergoing refurbishment for the Rio 2016 Games, the venue has served as a cornerstone of Brazil’s equestrian legacy. Access the park via Rio de Janeiro’s transit network, and plan ahead with practical details on seating, parking, and nearby lodging and dining options.
Whether you’re heading to a dressage test, a jumping event, or cross-country action, we’ve got you covered with straightforward buying, dependable information, and insider tips to secure your seats for a great day out in Barra da Tijuca and the Deodoro area.
Note: Seating capacity varies by discipline. Cross-country venues can accommodate up to ~20,000 spectators, while dressage and jumping stands generally hover around 14,000.
