Rio de Janeiro With or Without Masks

If you’re eager to spend some money you can visit the Lagoa neighbourhood, which is one of the most exclusive and most expensive neighbourhoods in South America. There you’ll also find a large lagoon known as Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas that attracts jogging and cycling enthusiasts, but you can also find many cafés and restaurants.

Football is definitely the most important sport in Brazil and Maracanã Stadium is one of the most important landmarks in the city as well as the largest stadium in South America. The Tijuca National Park is also a true sight to behold and was almost destroyed in the 19th century due to coffee plantations. It is home to the tallest peak in Rio, Pico da Tijuca. The Lapa and Santa Teresa neighbourhoods are also worth a visit. Lapa is known for its nightlife, since samba bars are abundant, and Santa Teresa is a neighbourhood that will take you back in time – it used to be a neighbourhood of painters, musicians and writers, and it has still retained the artist friendly atmosphere. You can find more about what you can do there here.
