Brazil, Rio de Janeiro? |
Travel Info I might be moving to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro and I was wondering about the people, and places, and other things. So if you know anybody from brazil or you know a good website pls tell me. Thanks. Travel Tips 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 P茫o-de-a莽煤car (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 "Esta莽茫o Carioca" (Carioca station). You can acess the main avenue - avenida Rio Branco - a finacial center and the Cinel芒ndia, 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 P脷BLICO, a public garden. OUTSIDE RIO: If you spend a little bit more time, you can to visit Petr贸polis. About 1 hour or less from Rio, by bus. You must see there a big organ and a famous hotel called "QUITANDINHA"). Teres贸polis, another town is very beautiful. Petr贸polis and Teres贸polis are twin towns, because it was build for our King Pedro II and the Queen Teresa. In Teres贸polis, 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.
