Rio de Janeiro is one of the most spectacular capitals of the world. The mixture of beaches, city, preserved nature and unique landscapes gave international fame to the city called “Wonderful city” and it makes it one of the most beautiful of the world. The number of adventure activities is impressive and uncountable. It’s possible to go paragliding or hang-gliding or even climb the most famous rocks. It’s like all the adventure activities could be practiced around there.
In no other place it’s possible to find such integration between nature and city. The environmental reserve is everywhere, like the impressive forest of Tijuca. The Mata Atlântica surrounds some buildings and provides a unique atmosphere for practicing extreme activities.
Trekking, flying fox, hang-gliding, paragliding, scuba diving and surfing: everything you can imagine can be done in one of the capitals of ecotourism. Have you ever imagined paragliding close to Cristo Redentor, the main landmark of Brazil? This and much more, like climbing steeps of up to 1.000 meters, can be done in the adventure capital of the country.
The beautiful beaches are another incredible landmark. There you can choose between the internationally famous Copacabana, the popular Ipanema or the relaxing Recreio. All of this with an impressive cuisine and infrastructure.

The Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest gives life to the Brazilian coast. The green forest surrounds perfectly the paradisiacal beaches of the Brazilian seaside. With many rivers and refreshing waterfalls, it’s one of the main attractions for practicing ecotourism in the country.
The vegetation is extremely rich, but the most impressive thing is the fauna. There you will find from the rare Micos-leões-dourados (golden lion tamarin), endangered specie of monkey, to the enigmatic Onças-pintadas (jaguar). It’s more than 1.3 million square meters of exuberating forest.
At some levels this biodiversity is considered one of the biggest of the world. The variety that goes along the country is enormous. You can see Jacarés-de-papo-amarelo(specie of alligator), Papagaio-de-cara-roxa (an exotic purple parrot) and also Botos-tucuxi(specie of Dolphin). During some research in Reserva Biológica Do Una, in the state of Bahia, North American researchers identified 450 different species of trees in only one hectare of forest.
Mata Atlântica, had a main role during the colonization of the country, and impressed the Portuguese that arrived here in 1500. Preserved even nowadays, this massive forest keeps in some parts, besides animals and plants, the rich history of Brazil.
