  1. RIO DE JANEIRO (City)

    Rio is a very pretty and big city. One of the biggest, most largest, famous and beatiful in the world, of course.

    But, Rio has not only the beaches and mountains to see. There are many other very nice sights.

    FAMOUS PLACES:

    The most famous are the Christ on Corcovado and the Pão-de-açúcar (Sugar Loaf).

    Don't let to see the Tijuca National Park, where we have the largest urban forrest all of the world.

    QUINTA DA BOA-VISTA:

    See, also, the "QUINTA DA BOA-VISTA", a very large place used by our emperors in the XIX century.

    The sight is very pretty, with a lake, trees, palms, rocks, and a palace. There's a very nice museum of natural history inside the palace.

    At side, you find the Rio's zoo.

    SOUTH ZONE:

    You can't let to see, also, "Pedra Bonita". Guys flies in hang glides from there. A tandem flight in a hang gliding cost about US$ 140.00.

    Another option is a flight by paraglider.

    Look for "Lagoa" (lagoon), where the highest Christmas tree is mounted, every year, in december. Pedra Bonita and Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas are inside the South zone. Near Ipanema and Copacabana.

    WEST ZONE:

    You must to shop in Barrashopping and New York City shopping centers.

    In Bangu, you find the "Pedra Branca", a big mountain.

    CENTER:

    Coming back to the Center, search for "Arcos da Lapa". Very nice.

    Ask for informatiosn about the BONDINHO DE SANTA TERESA, a rail train like that of San Francisco.

    Know the city using the subway. I suggest to see "Estação Carioca" (Carioca station). You can acess the main avenue - avenida Rio Branco - a finacial center and the Cinelândia, a place with some cinemas.

    In Cinelandia, we have the city Theatre (Teatro Municipal). You can see the national library in front Cinelandia.

    Also, in Cinelandia, you find the PASSEIO PÚBLICO, a public garden.

    RIO DE JANEIRO (State):

    If you spend a little bit more time, you can to visit Petrópolis. About 1 hour or less from Rio, by bus.

    You must see there a big organ and a famous hotel called "QUITANDINHA").

    Teresópolis, another town is very beautiful. Petrópolis and Teresópolis are twin towns, because it was build for our King Pedro II and the Queen Teresa.

    In Teresópolis, you see a mountain called "Dedo de Deus" (that means, God's finger) from the main avenue. From a small tower, you have a sight of the "Granja Comari", a beautiful ranch used by the national brazilian football (soccer) team.

    Nova Friburgo (a german town); Penedo (a town founded by immigants from Finland. Very nice!) Itatiaia and Resende, where you can find the "Pico das Agulhas Negras" and the Army's academy (AMAN); Cabo Frio, Araruama and Búzios, all with very good beaches.

    OTHER STATES:

    If you want something coldest, you can goes to the "Serras Gaúchas", very nice european look places.

    The best places are Canela e Gramado (there's a chocolate festival), best known by their Cinema festival. There,are, also, a tonw in miniature. Good for pictures.

    See all links below and you will decide better.


  2. In Rio de Janeiro, in Petrópolis has "Santos Dummond's house" (museum), "The Imperial Museum" also in Petrópolis.

    In Rio's capital "Quinta da Boa Vista" (museum, zoo and place to do picnic with beautiful view)it is behind of Maracanã (our soccer stadium). In October I think or other month near  we have "Bienal do livro" a lot of interest books to buy cheap in a city of books.
