Rio de JaneiroBrazil

Regions

Some of the state's regions of interest are:

Cities

  • Angra dos Reis - Beautiful two hour coastline including 365 islands
  • Fumaça – It is a small village on the outskirts of Resende. This small village hides some of the most beautiful (and dangerous) waterfalls in Rio.
  • Itaguaí - Small suburb about 1 hour from the city
  • Niterói - Just across the bay from Rio de Janeiro, go here to see Oscar Niemeyer's amazing Niteroi Museum of Contemporary Art (shaped like a UFO).
  • Nova Iguaçu - Famous for its violence and crime. This city has a myth of the only Brazilian volcano (scientifically not a volcano).
  • Paraty - A 18th century well-preserved colonial town on the coast, just 260km West from Rio de Janeiro on the green coast
  • Penedo - A Brazilian version of "little Finland" with euro architecture, cobblestone streets, small shops and lots of trout restaurants. Just outside of Resende.
  • Petrópolis - A lovely city in the tops of the mountains. A good place to cool off from the Rio sun!
  • Resende
  • Rio de Janeiro
  • Teresopolis - A very nice city in the mountains close to Rio de Janeiro
  • Três Rios - Where three of the state's rivers meet. Near the border of Minas Gerais
  • Volta Redonda
