Love this place. Great staff , grest service.

Great experience for kids and family

The place is good to family tour.

Small, but very enjoyable

A really great place. Full of species of fishes, even sharks. The main attraction are the marine turtles, various species and their cubs (which you can see been freed onto the sea depending on the season). The place supports a conservancy projected to protect the turtles.

Great staff, well organized and well mantained environment. The entry ticket justifies its R$ 24 price tag, letting you go to any places in the stabelecement (excluding the Yellow Submarine atraction) with freedom All animals are healthy and are well cared and loved by everyone working there. Things on the exit shop are pricy but are justificable by how much this project has been doing and how much they need to pay for taking care of the animals, maintain the building in good state and pay the employees as well. Overall, couldn't stay more happy to visit and help the project as well.

It's so little! I would recommend if you want to see a group of sharks and some little turtles. Overall I am kind of disappointed because compared to the TAMAR project of Praia do Forte this one has only is 1/3 of the size and attractions. I would recommend watch the animal feeding. You can also ask for a stamp in your arm in case you want to go out and return later on.

Place for relaxing and muscle flexing during weekend and place various restaurant serving different type of food.

Nice and peaceful place.

With a size of a 3 floor building and memorable shapes, it's a very good tourist point in orla. In its front there are EU ❤️ ARACAJU, which means: I love Aracaju. This is the best known place from the capital of Sergipe. Beside the Arcos da Orla de Atalaia there is the beach, but you need take a long walk in the sand to be at the sea. Don't forget put your summer screen.

(Translated by Google) The tide is rising very quickly there, so there's practically no beach left. The best thing to do is take a buggy ride or a speedboat tour, which takes people to Father-in-law Island and Mother-in-law Island. (Original) O mar está subindo muito rápido lá então praticamente não existe mais praia. O legal é um passeio de Buggy e o passeio de lancha, onde leva as pessoas para a ilha do Sogro e a ilha da Sogra.

(Translated by Google) I loved!! (Original) Amei!!

(Translated by Google) Very satisfactory. Now there's a group of people with jet skis that nobody likes; besides drinking, they ride them around close to people and children. It's scary because there could be an accident. (Original) Muito satisfatório. Agora tem uma galera com jet ski que ninguém está gostando , além de beberem fica rodando com ela próximo as pessoas e crianças. Faz medo de um acidente

(Translated by Google) Beach with crystal clear waters (Original) Praia de águas cristalinas

It's a very interesting, but small exhibit. It's fun to see, but keep in mind that you will maybe spend there 1-2 hours MAX. If you don't have a tour! We went 2 hours before closing and it was the perfect time to go.

It is definitely a place worth visiting. You can admire turtles of different sizes, from tiny hatchlings to enormous old turtles. While they offer guided tours, unfortunately, these tours are not available in English, and not all exhibit descriptions have English translations. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed the visit.

Amazing from A to Z you can spend a whole day here with the kids and they'll never get board. Food, play area. Shows and lots of nice vibes. Highly recommended the kids can feed the turtles too!

I was very impressed with the amount of information about turtles. They have a number of different turtles as well as other sea life. Also there's turtles that have been found injured that are being treated. With the moderate admission it was well worth the experience. I was very impressed with the obvious passion the staff has to support the mission of protecting turtles. The staff were readily available to answer the questions that our group had. The gift shop had a number of beautiful options. Make a visit here a part of your vacation to Priai do forte!

Beautiful spot to visit in Bahia Praia do Forte small Village and living place

Fun outdoor activity to do with kids (free under 5)! Employees are kind, always available to explain or help. Fun way to learn about turtles. There are also sharks and rays to see. The gift shop is nice too :) For people with babies, please note that there are 2 bathrooms on the site, but only one that is baby friendly. It's the one located at the entrance of the park where you pay your ticket. Enjoy :)

Love the place. The landscape and the turtles are amazing. You can clearly see that they love them and care about them. If you want to eat somenthing inside there, you have an open restaurant facing the ocean with a breathtaking view. You will not regret the experience.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful store! Lots of styles, sizes, and prints, and you can even order bikinis in advance. We bought for the whole family! (Original) Loja maravilhosa! Muitos estilos, tamanhos, e estampas e dá até pra encomendar biquínis com antecedência. Compramos pra família inteira!

Horrible delays. I arrived at the ferry boat 2 hours ago and I still waiting for the ferris leave. How difficult can be to run a half hour boat back and forth.

(Translated by Google) From an infrastructure standpoint, it is an essential service that is extremely useful and important for the transportation and integration of the capital and the highways that come from the South, Southeast and Central-West of Brazil. Ferry boats deserve better attention from the government, as well as the services provided. The vessels that were once extremely modern, today require minimal repairs and care. It is worth mentioning that other states in Brazil do not have ferries of this quality and construction, so maintenance would be enough to improve service conditions. Pedestrians and all types of vehicles board with practically no restrictions. (Original) Do ponto de vista de infraestrutura é um serviço essencial extremamente útil e importante para o transporte e integração da Capital e das rodovias que chegam do Sul, Sudeste e Centro-oeste do Brasil. Os Ferry Boats merecem melhor atenção do poder público, bem como os serviços prestados. As embarcações que um dia foram extremamente modernas, hoje precisam de reparos e cuidados mínimos. Vale ressaltar que outros estados do Brasil não possuem Barcas com essa qualidade e construção, então a manutenção já seria suficiente para elevar as condições de atendimento. Embarcam pedestres e todos os tipos de veículos praticamente sem restrições.

(Translated by Google) Terrible public transport service, including the high price charged; it's not worth the money you pay! It takes a long time to board, it's very disorganized and there's no monitoring of the volume of music that some users play! It's a total disincentive to enjoy the beauty of the island and the municipalities of Costa do Dendê, which should have a tourist incentive - something that doesn't exist! 😡 (Original) Péssimo serviço de transporte público, inclusive pelo alto valor cobrado; não vale o que se paga! Demora muito para embarcar, muita desorganização e sem fiscalização da altura do som que alguns usuários colocam para ouvir! Desestímulo total para se curtir as belezas da Ilha e dos municípios da Costa do Dendê, que deveriam ter um incentivo turístico - coisa que não existe! 😡

(Translated by Google) Terminal without good signage. When you get to the entrance, you can hardly tell it's a terminal, because what you see above it is a huge advertisement that looks more like the entrance to a company than the entrance to the terminal. The service is disorganized, and it wasn't busy, I can only imagine what it would be like on weekends and holidays. The bathroom is filthy, dirtier than an old gas station on the side of the road. It's absolutely absurd for the price they charge! How can the government of Bahia not monitor the service provided by this concession? The concessionaire Internacional Travessias is certainly not following the rules of the contract. It's a clear case that privatization will not improve the service if there is no monitoring and follow-up of the contract by the concessionaire!!! (Original) Terminal sem boa sinalização. Ao chegar na entrada quase não se sabe que é terminal, pois o que tem em cima é uma propaganda imensa que mais parece ser a entrada de uma empresa do que a portaria de acesso ao terminal. Desorganizado o serviço e olha que não estava cheio, fico imaginando em finais de semana e feriados. Banheiro imundo, mais sujo que de posto de gasolina velho em beira de estrada. Um verdadeiro absurdo para o preço que cobram! Como pode o Governo da Bahia não fiscalizar o serviço dessa concessão. Com certeza as regras do contrato estão sendo descumpridas pela concessionária Internacional Travessias. Caso claro de que a privatização não melhora o serviço se não houver fiscalização e acompanhamento do contrato pelo cessionário!!!

(Translated by Google) My experience on October 13, 2020 was the worst possible. Outside the terminal there were about 500 people in a line that didn't move, waiting for the boats at their scheduled times, which while I was there were not met at all. Hundreds of families under the scorching sun with no set time to board. I am horrified. It was the first and last time. (Original) Minha experiência em 13 de outubro de 2020 foi a pior possível. O lado de fora da terminal tinha cerca de 500 pessoas em uma fila que não se movia esperando os barcos nos seus horários, que enquanto estive ali não foram cumpridos nenhum dos previstos. Centenas de famílias baixo um sol escaldante sem hora certa para embarcar. Estou horrorizada. Foi primeira e ultima vez.

(Translated by Google) It takes too long for the amount of people and vehicles required. (Original) Demora demais para o quantitativo de demanda de pessoas e veículos.

(Translated by Google) Long lines on holidays, delays and cancellations make crossing the bridge an exercise in patience... A real Russian roulette. (Original) Filas grandes em feriados, atrasos e cancelamentos de horários fazem da travessia um exercício de paciência... Verdadeira roleta russa.

Lovely beach. Very nice pics and very quiet spot. Strongly recommend it when in Morro de Sao paulo. Its not the Caribbean bt it so wild. No hotels, almost no stupid bars and very clean

Garapua is amazing. The beach is so beautiful and calm. It is perfect to relax!

Nana's restaurant at Garapuá beach!

Lovely little town

Bellisimo 😍

Regular..m

Free place from center Lencois! Hiking to there is very easy! Easy level! No cost to enter. I suggest to do 3 locations afterwards (see my other reviews) but the last one is very difficult and not easy to find (use a trail map - download before attempting as there are no signs). This one is easy and straightforward. You can swim there and there are snacks sold there.

Easy walk from the town (40min) and very quiet place to relax. You can even see monkeys during the walk.

Beautiful natural pools, very clean and nice for a swim. People respect nature here very well. Recommended!

This is a natural water slide!!! It’s 30 minutes walk from the town! It’s so much fun! Go enjoy sliding with bikini or sunga.(Otherwise, your pants might get ripped hahaha. I literally saw a guy whose pants were ripped to shreds.)

Easy 40min walk from Lençao, children friendly and fun place. With a slide, little natural pools and colorful stones. The water looks brown but it's fresh!

This is a hike you can do right from Lencois! Only an hour or so walk from the centre and you come to a beautiful waterfall where you could spend a whole day.

Great waterfall/ slide with a nice pool to swim in. Don’t dive in the water because there might be rocks you cannot see. We saw the local guides show others how to slide and where it was safe to jump into the water. The path was very easy, you can wear flip flops and you don’t need much water. To get to the starting point, just go down the southern most road from the town and you will see an entrance marked by someone selling drinks.

Buracão is definitely one of the most beautiful waterfalls you'll see. And it is by far the most must-go spot in Chapada Diamantina. It is compulsory to hire a local guide to enter the park. Usually, it costs 150 for up to 6 persons (we were two, so we paid 75 reais each). The entrance fee is 15 reais per person. The access isn't as easy as many other spots around but it's really worth it. We drove past Ibicoara, about 24km on an dirt road, then another 4km past the ticket booth, and then we walked for 1 hour in an easy-level track, which is suitable for both elder and children alike. You can reach the bottom part of the waterfal either by rappel (commonly 1 ½ hours wait plus 20 minutes rappelling) or walking (20 minutes). If you choose to walk down the track, you drop your stuff on a rock and swim a small shallow canal to see the waterfall from below. Water is refreshing cold. There's no one selling beverages or whatsoever at the waterfall so it's a good idea to grab yourself something to eat. There's someone selling snacks (many vegan and vegetarian options available) and beverages at the entrance of the track (past the ticket booth, right before you start the walk).

This is a must do in the region. The trail is 3 km long (very short in my opinion), going through local vegetation, rock formations and the river that becomes the Waterfall. The waterfall is spectacular (nothing more to say). Our guide, Ossy (not sure I am writting that corectly) was very kind, and adapted the tour to our needs and interests. Totally recommend.

Extremely nice, bade below a 85 meters tall water fall, with ok water temperature and with safety vests included. Not too crowded.

Must go !.. best waterfall in Brazil

Amazing waterfall in a great setting! Definitely worth it! But avoid to do the tour with the agency Bicho do Mato - even though the price for a group of four is fixed in Ibicoara they charged us more after we returned from the tour.

Hike along a river, through the mata, down beside one waterfall to arrive at a canyon that you need to swim through to reach a spectacular waterfall... An amazing day. Just be careful following Google maps - we were led well astray. You have to go through Ibicoara, and it's worth getting a guide from there - there's a tricky lookout you probably won't find on your own to see Buracão from above.

I felt like in jurassic Park, ❣❣❣🤪❗❗❗👍ones of the most beautiful experience of my life. I was there 20 years ago, and then get there was a thought ride. One day I will go back 🙏❣🇮🇹❗👍

Such a stunning place!! Definitely going back there.

😍😍😍 Fantastic view and nature! Recommended.

It's beautiful but NOT A GOLF COURSE GOOGLE. Nice place to take family and see nature. Also host events all year. Would make a great setting for a golf course, but unfortunately Brazilians don't know what that sport is:(

Amazing place.the nature shine here. The ducks, gooses, fish are the source of inspire. It is a tourist point of friburgo.don't miss!

I love to walk, run, just chill at this location. What a scene everywhere you go. Highly recommended.

Im a member, beautiful place. The best park in friburgo. Shame about the gym, badly frequented, terrible conditions.

We had an amazing time staying at Pousada Praia Joao Fernandes. The view from our room was amazing, as was the view from the restaurant and reception. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, especially Flor, Stephanie, and Cinthia. They were able to answer any questions we had. You can not beat the location. We were just 2 minutes from one of our favorite beaches. Every morning, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast provided at reception and enjoy a morning swim down at the beach. We will definitely be returning for another stay!

Very well located almost beach front. Breakfast was outstanding. The infrastructure needs to be taken care of, not everything works

Perfect location, rooms were amazing, the staff were phenomenal! The restaurant food and the continental breakfast were delicious! I would absolutely go back!

Away from the riff raff. Great breakfast and close to the beaches.

Had a lovely stay !

Friendly staff, beautiful location, rooms . Not one complaint

Great beach. The best in Buzios

If you come to Búzios, this is one of the beaches you might want to visit. It is long, windy and has fine hot sand, where hurrying your feet feels nice. There is a serving shack, somewhat expensive but buying a couple beers will grant you access to the beach chairs and umbrellas.

If you are going to visit Buzios, this is the beach I recommend staying at, particularly if you rent a house (which is what we did). The surf can be a bit rough for very small kids, but some of the best waves for surfing/boogie boarding I have seen anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean. The beach itself is reasonably wide and not overly crowded. There are bars at one end for food.

wide beach plenty of space that allows to play ball, racket, etc.. without bothering anyone... it has different areas with stronger waves with some light surf combined with other areas more quiet where kids can play safely... the free space also allows to avoid the umbrella rent, something very difficult in other beach here at buzios. prices are lower too and since it bigger it has a very good variety for food and snacks... the nad part of the story... in theory Brazil laws prohibit to be charged for umbrella but this is something not being checked, therefore people at the beach charges what they want, even for undefined services or for using the umbrella and not consuming a minimum amount

Really nice place. Good for people that enjoy playing in the waves, but in the safety of the shallow ocean at the same time. Also you can easily swim further than the waves breaking and enjoy a calmer area. It can be quite windy. Large sand strand, really good to practice sports. Beautiful sunset can be watched there. And it is kinda cute how the beach is "hidden" with the little alley entrances. The only problem I experienced was people burying (very badly, IF they do it) the poop of their dogs. Definately not a place to let your kid dig up the sand and build castles with it...

Geriba Beach is one of those places that leave you in awe before the blessed, magnificent natural beauty. If you want to savor a state of amazement, go there.

Beautiful beach, great view. But very expensive.

The most beautiful beach. Took long walks in the morning while staying here on vacation.

Wow!!! Beautiful soft white sand beach surrounded by hills of cactus and constantly served by locals for popsicles, fried fish etc.

Beautiful beach with a bit hard walk The water was very good and warm (August) but the access is a bit dangerous. Be ready for local people approaching you to charge you for your parking and offer all kind of adventures. Local police and guards to protect your way to the beach.

Paradise alert! Absolute love this beach. The only way to get there is by boat or trekking. I decided to walk. It took me less than 10 minutes to get to the beach. The views in the way are stunning. I couldn’t believe how beautiful this place was. I love it. Once I got to the beach I got one seat and had delicious food and drinks in front of the water. Amazing!!

Very nice beach, but can get very busy in high season. The boats bringing the people of nearby Cabo Frio to the beach can become a nuisance as they blare their music and it disturbs the peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear, and a sight to behold. There are some walking trails, but you are advised to go in a large group as it might not be save alone

Very beautiful beach but little space when tide is high, so check time before.. good offer of food and drinks and SUP, canues...

Small beach. Good for snorkeling. Difficult to reach. Long walk from a very high point and back. Turtles. Fishes. Squibs. Clear water.

One of the most beautiful beaches I went at state of RJ during my last trip to Brazil!

This place is so beautiful. I travel display and so happy. I travel my family. This place is very good popular is so friendly. This place restaurant is so better Dena Adarsh

Amazing, is the place more beautiful in the world.

Two absolutely beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear blue water. You can walk between the two beaches if you don't mind getting a little wet.

The place is beautiful, and the sea is cold, it is worth the visit. But, take care. It is extremely expensive. R$15 a taxi to go up R$15 to go back, they block the street, Uber is not allowed. If you are going to eat at the beach, ask before, everything is insanely expensive. You are not going to pay less than R$150 for something to eat. Go early, around midday it gets crowded.

one of the most beautiful places in the cabo frio area

very beautiful, but do yourself a favor and do not go for a weekend it is completely horrible there are too many people

This is a beautiful place that I've ever seen in my life...the water is so clean and blue....the sand is so delicious to walk...the view is wonderful. Everyone must go there one time

Beautiful beach, but it's military preserved, so you can't stay and enjoy more then 30-40 minuts. You have to take a boat tour to get there, and you can imagine how many people are on the small beach and so many boats around. It's an experience..

Beautiful beach, clear water and fine (very fine) sand. This beach belongs to a preserved area run by Brazilian Navy. There are rules to be followed and places you can't go. Nonetheless, is a great place to swim and rest in the sand.

This beautiful beach is only accessible by boat, and is near a Brazil navy site, so you're limited to only 40 minutes on the beach and you can't bring much with you on the beach. But all of that helps keep the beach very clean and less busy. The waters here are crystal clear. You can see the sand below you even when you're deep in the water.

Very nice beach. It's very clean and beautiful. Too bad you can only stay there for 40 minutes.

Mega beautiful and clean beach. Just reachable by boat. Only too crowded during the weekend/bank holiday.

Nice crystal clear water at beach

You can stay there just for a few minutes and it's too crowded. But it worths the visit!

One of the most amazing National Parks in Brazil. Petrópolis - Teresópolis trail is a must. Among other attractions are "Dedo de Deus", waterfalls and breathtaking viewpoints.

This is a super beautiful park area that I visited in Teresopolis. I really enjoyed the fun of walking across all the rocks and sitting under the several waterfalls. This was during January and the weather was just perfect. I hope to visit the beautiful place again.

Beautiful region, with amazing scenarios and astonishing wildlife

good roads, short distances, nice views

I hiked from Petropolis to Teresopolis and it was one of the most technically difficult hikes I've done. There is this one part called the "little horse" where the only way to continue is to take your backpack off, grab the rock, swing your leg over the rock, and use your momentum to hoist your body on and over this large rock. Did I mention that this all takes place on cliff where if you fall you die? Yep! It was worth it and so incredibly beautiful but the trail is no joke! Doable if you do it in 2-3 days (carrying your camping gear) but a lot of altitude! I have hiked 36km/day in the snow, and found this hike to be a challenge physically and mentally.

Beautiful park, with a fun little road that goes a few km into the jungle. The view at the end of the Cartão Postal trail is worth the hike, but be warned that it's not easy. Don't attempt it if you're not in shape.

I really enjoyed the park. It has many waterfalls with small natural pools. Accessible, requires a short hiking of 5-10 minutes to get to most of the natural pools. Very relaxing and calm.

Access is free on Wednesdays and is a self tour across the palace. It takes about 1hr if you pay attention to the details. Worth visiting in Petrópolis.

It is a cultural visit to understand how was the daily basics of the emperor and he's wife and way to do so.

If you were a bad student as me, this is the opportunity to know the history of Brazil. We have just 63 years of kingdom here in Brazil but until our "freedom" or beginning of the democrat republicans there are very interesting issues inside the museum.

Beautiful palace. Mostly everything written in portuguese You can pay CASH ONLY! The slippers that they give you to put on your shoes are very dangerous and disgusting dirty. Could search for another option for visitors! No photos allowed.

Great palace. Free entrance when we went. We had to wear covers for our shoes. Great collection.

You're required to wear slippers over your shoes to protect the floors, but unfortunately they are one size fits some and you'll likely be pseudo-skating around the museum. Also, you're required to check all belongings before entering, including cameras. Photography is not allowed inside, with or without flash. Other than these minor things, worth the trip! Definitely recommend, just be aware what you're in for.

Quite interesting to see how decadent the royal family was while their countries (Brazil and Portugal) suffered. The museum is free sometimes and cheap the rest of the time. It would get 5 stars if they allowed photos inside and dispensed with the awkward slippers they furnish you to preserve the hardwood floors.

I had an amazing experience at Restaurante Cervejaria Bohemia in Petrópolis. The setting is beautiful — inside the historic Bohemia brewery — and the ambiance is lively yet cozy. The food was outstanding! I had the Angus flat iron steak, perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. Everything is clearly designed to pair with their incredible craft beers, which are brewed right there on-site. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the view from the upstairs restaurant added a special touch. After lunch, I visited the brewery museum — which I highly recommend if you’re into beer culture or Brazilian history.

Nice place, especially beer tasting, gift shop is also interesting😀

Brazil's oldest brewery was founded by German immigrants in the mountainous summer getaway of Petrópolis in 1853. It was once the preferred beer of the Portuguese royal family. While mass production shifted to São Paulo in 1998, Bohemia reopened its original location in 2012 as a specialty brewery museum, bar, and restaurant. The interactive guided tour explores the history of beer and specifically Bohemia, offering tastings and a visit to the barrel-aging beer cave.

Esther was an excellent guide! She gave thoughtful, funny and kind insights of the beer process and its history. She also always made sure we had no questions left. Amazing work!

Deep history:) fun tastings of the beer!

Absolutely 5 stars. The venue is very well mainland the 44 real tour was amazing. They did a great job explaining beer making process and so many fun facts.

This was one of the best parts of my visit in Petropolis. The first half of the tour is a museum of the history and science of beer. The displays are in Portuguese, but almost all of them have English translations. The displays were beautiful and informative. The last half is a guided tour. Our guide spoke in Portuguese, which was difficult for me. However, most of the displays were straightforward enough and interesting enough that I wasn't bored and didn't feel left out. After the guided tour, we were given a flight of 3 different beers to taste (and children were given juice so they didn't feel left out). The gift shop had many great gifts for me to bring back home. The restaurant had great vegetarian options (and of course, beer), and the service was excellent. I highly recommend you do this tour!

Didn't know this story, but it was the highlight of the whole "Petropolis" tour for me, being that I love aviation.

No pix, no amex. cash, debit or credit only. Great history spot, small (but he was a small guy) great piece of history! Worth the trio!

Nice place, can see why he built a glider to get to the bottom of the mountain. He was a bit later to fly, just after the Wright Brothers.

I went on his birthday and it was very busy, however it was great to learn more about the type of person he was and his lovely house.

Very informative and interesting small museum, one of the best places in Petropolis.

The House of Santos Dumont is a great place to visit. I got surprised when I saw how simple he lived behind the big intelligence he had. The history of this great person brings pride of such human and the benefits he brought to the humandade.

Beautiful site with a rich history and gorgeous scale replicas of Santos' creations, and the original house designed by Santos Dumont himself. The entrance fee is decent, and they offer a video (with English subtitles) that tells the true story of Mr. Dumont. This is a must-visit site for fans of aviation history. Keep in mind the stairs are steep (which is part of the original history of the house), but there is an elevator available for people who have difficulty.

It could really be pack after 10am. So, if you’d like a nice photo, do go early! We had to go back a 2nd time to get nice photo taken without people everywhere!

The stairs themselves are stunning but the sheer number of people trying to pose on them makes it overwhelming and takes away from the art. Go early or in the rain for the best chance at a decent view. The street leading up to the steps is full of souvenir stalls that are actually pretty well priced compared to the same stuff at Christ the Redeemer or Ipanema.

I came here twice, solely because it was so ridiculously busy the first time I thought it deserved a second go. The first was on a Saturday around 12. It was so insanely busy you could barely move let alone get any sort of pictures or enjoyment. The second was on a Monday around 10:30 it was still very busy but far less people. You could walk without getting in the way of to many people's photos and find a spot to take your own. Well the stairs are very beautiful, and it is completely free. I wouldn't say it is an absolute must see. If it's a stop on your tour, or nearby where you're staying I think go for it. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Such an amazing vibe with beautiful artwork on the steps. It can be a bit crowded, but it is so worth the trip. Grab a caprihana and stroll on up the steps. Great little shops at the bottom to check out too.

Easy to miss if you're going from up top. The stair view can be enjoyed from tje bottom only. They're located on a 5-10 minute walk from the cathedral and are definitely worth a visit.

Sept.25: would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn't so overcrowded. We unfortunately visited on Sunday afternoon, lots of tourists which all took their time to get pictures... It was even hard only to enter the stairs just to go up.

This place is an iconic one. I went there late in the afternoon and was packed! Still, flocks of people would come and go leaving good time to take pictures. However, the best moment to be there is very very early in the morning like 6.30am, sun rises around 6-6.18am so it'll be well lit and everything, and most importantly, empty! You don't need to buy a ticket to enter this place since it's open for everyone. Just be careful of your belongings as always, pay attention to your surroundings and you'd be just fine! If you have enough time it's really amazing to really pay attention to the different ceramic tiles, also, be careful on where you step, after all it's ceramic so it can be slippery or tricky at times.

Very good attraction. It gets really busy so be prepared to be pushing and shoving. Everybody is trying to get the best spot to record the videos. They do have nice foods and souvenir shop on top of the mountain. There is always entertainment going on like live music.

Sugarloaf in Rio offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, beaches, and mountains, absolutely worth the visit. The cable car ride is smooth and scenic. It can get very crowded, especially during peak hours, so try to go early or on a weekday. There are a few shops and places to grab a snack at the top, but prices are a bit high. Still, the overall experience is unforgettable and a must-do while in Rio!

We came here early to avoid the long line. A glass cable car carried us to the top of iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain, actually expect to ride second cable car to real mountain top, which is a symbol of the city, in ideal conditions, I supposed to see the stunning panorama of the beaches, Corcovado Mountain, downtown Rio, and Guanabara Bay, etc. actually what you can see is by chance, the mist of cloud always come across to make you wonder, and it's hard to take a good picture of the stunning panoramic view of bay. There are squirrel-like primates called marmosets which can be spotted near the cable car stations and trails on the mountain , a species native to eastern Brazil. The tourists are discouraged to feed them.

A world class experience. Preferable to book the cable car tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. There are queues to board and alight from the cable cars. The 2 levels of the cable car stations provide varied views of the city of Rio from the top. The vistas are breathtaking. It can get a little cold at the top, so dress accordingly. The Christ Redeemer statue can be seen from the top. There a few expensive stores and good cafés at the top. Toilet and drinking water facilities are good. Best time to visit is around the sunset time to get the night views of the city.

Beautiful! It’s a stop you cannot miss in Rio. I loved it!

A definite must do while you are here. The views are great and there’s heaps of little shops and restaurants on top. The history of the build is also really interesting

A must place to visit if visiting Rio. Usual problems of crowds. Really busy mid morning with cruise ship tours etc. Go early or later also mid day was quiet

Visiting Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro is one of those magical experiences that touch your heart. The moment you see the statue standing high above the city, surrounded by clouds and sunlight, it feels truly special. The view from the top of Corcovado is breathtaking the ocean, the mountains, and the city below all blend into one stunning panorama. There’s something peaceful and spiritual about being up there. Even with many visitors around, you can still feel a deep sense of calm and awe. The train ride through the lush forest adds to the experience, making the journey as beautiful as the destination. It’s a place that makes you feel grateful, inspired, and connected to nature, to faith, and to life itself. An absolute must-visit when in Rio.

Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) is an iconic statue of Jesus Christ located atop Mount Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This colossal Art Deco statue stands 98 feet tall, with arms outstretched spanning 92 feet, making it one of the largest statues of Jesus in the world and a symbol both of Rio and Brazil.The idea for the statue was first proposed in the 1850s but was only realized starting in 1922, with construction completed in 1931. Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa designed the statue, with sculptor Paul Landowski creating the statue’s detailed features. The statue is constructed of reinforced concrete and clad in durable soapstone, chosen for its ability to withstand the elements.Christ the Redeemer was built by the Catholic Church and local supporters to symbolize peace and welcome, standing prominently on Corcovado Mountain so it is visible from across Rio. Over the years, it has become a global cultural landmark and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The site includes panoramic views of Rio’s cityscape, beaches, and surrounding mountains. It also has facilities such as an elevator and motorized stairs for accessibility.Visitors appreciate not only the religious and cultural significance of the statue but also the stunning views and the impressive engineering feat behind its design and preservation. It represents a unifying symbol with spiritual, historical, and architectural importance in Brazil.Christ the Redeemer continues to undergo maintenance and preservation efforts to protect its structure, ensuring it can be enjoyed by generations to come

A fullfilment of one of my traveling dreams was to visit the statue and admire the views over the city. Might be crowded from time to time but with some spare time you'll get to experience everything easily with one visit. Pre-purchased tickets recommended and can be changed for instance due to weather conditions.

It’s unthinkable to visit Rio without getting up close to this iconic statue. Access via the inclined tramway, a few steps and an escalator is easy. It was very misty when I visited and so not too crowded. Thankfully the mist lifted enough to see this beautiful statue, although views of the city remained really limited. The little chapel built into the rear of the statue was a pleasant surprise. I can’t begin to imagine how crowded it must get on a clear day, but you must visit.

There’s literally nothing to say about this attraction other than wow. The feeling you get seeing something in person after seeing it so many times on TV is amazing. I’m surprised how organised they are. They have lift an escalators on top of the mountain. They are plenty of shops and food court. They do daily shows like Samba dancing.

It's worth it. Visiting what's Rio famous for. You can see Rio from the top. The journey to the top was amazing, great views and weather. It's bigger than I thought. Sometimes it's crowded and sometimes you can take photos or ask someone to take it for you. Beautiful memories. Go early and book online there is a website for the train and tickets flr the Redeemer on site. When you arrive There will be a short line and a gift store.

You can't visit Rio without visiting Christo. It's way up in the national park but visits are well organised and comfortable to all, including those with mobility issues! And the views are spectacular too!

The beach is beautiful. It was a bit wavy given I visited in the end of September and the water was a bit cold but it was really enjoyable and refreshing on hot days. There are many retailers that occasionally can try hard to sell whatever they have. It should also be known that this is not the safest place to be. One has to be very careful with his belongings and where to sit to avoid

Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro is everything you imagine it to be — and more! The moment you step onto the soft golden sand, you can feel the vibrant energy that makes this beach world-famous. The stunning curve of the coastline, framed by lush green hills and the rhythmic sound of the Atlantic waves, creates a picture-perfect scene that feels straight out of a postcard. What makes Copacabana so special is the unique blend of relaxation and excitement. In the mornings, it’s peaceful and ideal for a refreshing swim or a quiet walk along the promenade. As the day goes on, the beach comes alive with locals playing volleyball and football, vendors selling refreshing coconut water, and musicians adding a joyful samba rhythm to the air. The iconic black-and-white wave-patterned boardwalk is another highlight — perfect for strolling, cycling, or simply soaking in the view of the sea and city skyline. There are plenty of beachfront cafés and kiosks where you can enjoy delicious Brazilian snacks and fresh juices while watching the sunset paint the sky in shades of orange and pink. Copacabana Beach isn’t just a place — it’s an experience of Rio’s soul: warm, lively, and unforgettable. Whether you go to relax, meet people, or simply admire the breathtaking scenery, it’s a destination that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rio — Copacabana is pure magic. 🇧🇷✨

Sept.25: We went to the famous Copacabana Beach. We taught it would be crowded as it was weekend, however this wasn't the case. There were a lot of local vendors selling all kinds of stuff & many different food, icecreams & drinks. Some brought a complete umbrella with bikinis & thongs as well as really nice looking grilled big scampis (we didn't try as we didn't know how long they were exposed to sun, etc.) & many more. As we need to get the Copacabana beach vipe, we bought a 700ML freshly pressed lime caipirinha. Delicious, but with the sun & almost on an empty stomach; I got hit very fast. In the far we saw Christ the Redeemer (big, famous Jezus statue of 30 m height on a hill), we hope to visit one of these days.

Here's a good review of Copacabana beach: Copacabana is more than just a beach; it's the vibrant, beating heart of Rio de Janeiro. The moment you step onto its famous wave-patterned promenade, you feel an electric energy. The 4km stretch of sand is a democratic playground for everyone—you'll see intense games of footvolley, locals sunbathing, and tourists sipping água de coco from the countless kiosks. The view is spectacular, with the curving bay framed by Sugarloaf Mountain on one end. It’s a must-see for its sheer iconic status and incredible people-watching, capturing the city's lively spirit perfectly.

One of the famous beaches in the world was worth visiting. A fairly clean that has many things to offer - from food stalls to watching people play volleyball, soccer and other games, enjoying a nice drink, snacks and food. A good place to get your morning or afternoon walk/run as well. A safe place compared to some parts of Rio. From good to excellent hotels across the beach.

Loved this beach, it is great for long walks, it’s clean enough, it’s possible to see a beautiful sunset there. Really liked the fact that it was possible to pay by card for sunbeds, umbrellas and drinks. It’s often very busy there and I loved that vibe.

🔟 / 🔟 Hello, we were here. I have to say right from the start, this is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been, simply paradise. I really, really enjoyed my time here. There are a lot of interesting people here. Feel free to come here with your friends, family, partners or alone. Enjoy this paradise. We'd love to come back. See you next time. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Very nice museum. It's more an ethnic museum, where your can find handicrafts made by different ethnicities around Brazil. It's small but with an excellent and new discursive narrative

Incredible place.

Small, free and enchanting. Lovely museum ❤️

Must visit!

Free entrance and sympathetic museum. Quite compact and aimed at kids. Like!

Love this place, especially when there are expositions from Instituto MarAdentro!

Was closed during the day

Great beach stunning views of the mountains. Come with a group that preferably speaks Portuguese, people come up to you constantly trying to sell things and also ask for selfies. Beautiful people and great water, but with only two people it did feel very vulnerable.

The beach is spectacular and really good for people watching and sunbathing. It is never boring to stroll along the beach and notice all the happenings. Plenty of vendors to dine and entertain.

Beautiful beach to walk all the way through, got the opportunity to see the sunset here and it was stunning. They have exercise stations and a beach gym to get a nice workout

Probably the most beautiful beach in Rio, much better than Copacabana due to the view. There are vendors and people who rent umbrellas and such, but they were never too pushy like some people say. Overall a very chill vibe. I recommend buying the street corner as a snack, it’s very good!

Amazing beach, but NEVER buy anything from the walking sellers. I paied 1000$ for one caipirinha😢 They hacked the paymemt terminal , even applepay doesn’ help. So be careful

Ipanema Beach is absolutely stunning! The golden sand, turquoise waters, and breathtaking view of the Dois Irmãos mountains make it one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The atmosphere is lively, with beach vendors, music, and people playing footvolley. The sunset here is unforgettable! It's a great spot to relax, but also perfect if you're looking for a more social beach experience. Just be mindful of your belongings, as petty theft can be an issue. Overall, a must-visit when in Rio! 🌊☀️🏖️

The beach itself is lovely but the beach vendor paraiso tropical 96 ruined the day. If you go to the beach avoid Paraiso Tropical 96!!!!!!Completely over charged us. €141 (850 Brazil Real) for two chairs, an umbrella and two waters.

Such an amazing place. From the tram station ride to the mountain top to the steps up the cliffside. The views are incredible and on a clear day like today you can see for hundreds of miles. Jutting out from the ocean you can see the sugarloafs and landscapes. Take your time and spend the day there. Have lunch or a snack be sure to bring water and hydrate and just enjoy. I shot these arial pictures and videos with a dji mini pro 3 drone. You can see full edits on my YouTube channel. I hope you can feel the breathtaking images.

If your intention is to have a good sports day away from the beach, this is a great alternative.There are many different hiking trails here from the very easy to much more complex ones and even a trail for the seeing impaired!!! 👀 we went with a guide, a tour that ended up being very interesting.But there were many groups of people that were just in groups doing their own thing , so I don't necessarily think you have to have a guide. There's a cup of nice waterfalls , not all of them you can bathe in , but the one that we visited for swimming was more of a shower than actual swimming pond! Good place to also escape the heat of the city.Even though we were told by our guide that when it's very hot outside , it gets double hot sauna style in there. Unfortunately, for us, we did not get to see many animals.We heard lots of birds that we did not see and we saw some monkeys.But I was hoping to see much more.And unfortunately when we went that was not the case. As far as what you should wear while you're there , we were in sneakers and t shirt and shorts. We did see some people wearing tall hiking boots and walking sticks. The bathrooms in the park itself are free.But there are trails that have a cafe with bathrooms but they charge almost 4 reals .. You are discouraged at all times of feeding the animals however I did see some locals giving bananas to the monkeys.

A unique experience at Tijuca National Park with our guide Erik from Get Your Guide. He was incredibly friendly, informative, and encouraged us to fully enjoy the caves and trails. The hike through the jungle was absolutely worth it—beautiful views, rich nature, and even some wildlife sightings.

A local friend booked us on the Indiana Jungle Tour which I enjoyed very much!!! Don’t miss the Museum Açude built circa 1920-30s. Antonio and fernando are great guide!!i appreciated their knowledge of the jungles plants。

It took us about 2.5 hrs to hike up to the Pico de Tijuca and the views were breathtaking.

Tijuca National Park was great. It hike was very Chakraborty but so worth every step. We saw toucans and monkeys. It was quite the experience. We really enjoyed ourselves. Entering the bat caves was a highlight for all of us. I totally recommend Tijuca National Park for anyone up for a challenging hike and any with a desire to see a real Brazilian rain forest.

The national park is stunning! As you venture deeper into the forest, the scenery becomes increasingly breathtaking. I had a great time biking here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Along with catching a glimpse of the Christ Reemder view, I also had the chance to observe a variety of trees, bamboo forests, birds, monkeys, and even pythons. The forest is adorned with intermittent waterfalls that add to its charm. This location is a must-visit for any nature enthusiast.

Good 😊

Hello tourists.This is RECREIO beach.A strip of sand for about 10 km or so.It´s after Barra and before Macumba and the stone.It was wild back them,nobody at all.There you see a labor city and none peasant,athlete or entertainer.It´s only sand,no stones or bricks in the way.I remeber a nature with stone in the middle of the beach ahead ,in Prainha and macumba is cut by a stone also. The quiosques still about old generation,I think few of woods,closed long time with only a few fidel customers or so.It´s about yourselve. The beach has nothing actually.If you have cash or seek hanging or so.I loved do this course by myself,admire femsle athletes and very loyals.But even for a bolshoii dancer she would complain a lot about so much studies in her country to see litter,low wages and people struggling close to her.And many other complains.... Was good,her coach would avise her.I am sure she understand only of practice. Maybe kyte needs crowds or close to civilization,nobody is up to show and desert brazil. This is our biggest beach and desert so far. No safe guards,dangerous waters. No kind at all. Good walk!

Such lovely beach and the view of this lovely island is magical🧡

The best beach for during the week with clear water ,local vendors and kiosk

The beach itself is amazing, beautiful it blends the city with nature, just by turning around a corner.. Great options to eat seafood based meals and an amazing spot for surfing. Which makes it not so welcoming to swimmers, cause there usually are a lots of waves. Phone reception over there is really bad, so getting an uber to leave the place might be an ordeal, i'd recommend a car, a bycicle or accept the fact that you might have to walk back part of the way before u can get Internet again (but there is a chance that u'll get internet over there).

Amazing scenery beach in Rio. Great for those who surf. Families are welcome too. I recommend you to visit it before 11h am specially during the weekends when it gets crowded.

Great beach in a little cove. Water is great, ground is firm unlike other beaches, and waves are pretty good sized to body surf and swing in.

Absolutely wonderful and small cove beach in Rio de Janeiro.

I call this place the Hawaii of Rio!! It is beautiful, clean, safe and full of waves. The restaurant located at the point is pretty tasty and a little pricy. Prainha is a must when visiting Rio!!!

One of Rio' best beachs, prainha is small and full of natural florest. It is loved by the surf community.

Lovely beach. Go during the day, while the sun is up! Just make sure it doesn't get dark while you are at Prainha beach, we couldn't find a taxi and struggled a bit as wifi connection didn't work well either.
