A Cidade Maravilhosa (The Marvelous
City), Rio de Janeiro is easily one of the
most beautiful cities in the world and offers
countless diversions. But the surrounding
State of Rio de Janeiro offers countless more,
plus the chance to catch a glimpse of the
daily life of Brazilians living outside the
urban environment. |

The city of Niterói, located just across
the Guanabara Bay from downtown Rio, also
has a lot to offer, including the striking

of Contemporary Art). |

The bondes (streetcars) which leave
from downtown Rio near Largo da Carioca
(Carioca Square) provide easy access to the
picturesque Santa Teresa neighborhood, including
the intriguing Parque das Ruínas
(Ruins Park) with its breathtaking views and
the neighboring Museu da Chácara
do Céu (Museum of the Small Farm
in the Sky) which, despite its name, is a
lovely old mansion filled with a wide-ranging
collection of art and surrounded by beautiful
gardens. |

Created by the Prince Regent of Portugal,
the future Dom João VI, in 1808, the
Jardim Botânico (Botanical Garden)
displays over 6000 species of plants spread
over more than 320 acres divided about equally
between formal gardens and mata atlântica,
the native coastal tropical forest. A large
number of bird species can be spotted here,
as well as butterflies and other insects,
and some monkeys and other small animals. |
