Because the best travel memories are always those built together — and Rio, when shown the right way, has the gift of bringing together and enchanting like few places in the world.

CARIOCA PANTANAL

The Marapendi Lagoon Reserve, in the Southwest region of the city, is one of Rio de Janeiro's best-kept secrets — a sanctuary of Atlantic Forest and Restinga where nature sets the pace. Navigate through channels and mirrors of water with a rare biodiversity that creates an experience that few cariocas — and even fewer visitors — have had the privilege of knowing.

TIJUCA FOREST

Rio carries within it one of the largest urban forests in the world. The Tijuca Forest is a wonder — dense, lush, and untouched. Centuries-old trails lead to hidden waterfalls and viewpoints that reveal Rio in its entirety, while history whispers in each section: it was here that the Empire ordered reforestation of what coffee had destroyed, one of Brazil's first acts of environmental preservation. Nature, altitude, and memory, for those who want to see Rio from above.

BOTANICAL GARDEN

Founded in 1808 by order of Dom João VI, the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro is one of the most important and beautiful on the planet — 137 hectares home to more than six thousand species of plants, centennial trees, and a fauna that strolls with the naturalness of something that has always been there. The Avenue of Imperial Palms, the lakes of Victoria regia, and the Corcovado in the background create a scene of rare beauty — and an irresistible invitation to slowness and contemplation.

AQUARIO AQUARIUM

The AquaRio is the largest marine aquarium in South America — a breathtaking underwater universe where more than 8,000 animals from 350 different species reveal the extraordinary biodiversity of Brazilian seas and the world's oceans. Sharks, rays, turtles, and shoals that seem hand-painted create an experience that delights all ages and transforms any visit into an unforgettable immersion.

MUSEUM OF TOMORROW

The Museum of Tomorrow is one of the most thought-provoking and innovative cultural experiences in Brazil. In five main themes — Cosmos, Earth, Anthropocene, Tomorrows, and Now — the museum provokes, questions, and inspires reflections on the world we have inherited and the future we are building. Science, art, and technology gathered in one place, by the Guanabara Bay, for those who want to leave different than how they entered.

BIOPARK ZOO

Located in the historic city's Zoo, the BioPark is much more than a zoo — it is a center for conservation and animal welfare housing over 2,000 animals from 350 species, in an environment that combines science, education, and a truly immersive experience. Jaguars, primates, exotic birds, and fascinating reptiles reveal the extraordinary biodiversity of Brazilian and global fauna. The living, pulsating, and surprising nature.

LAGE PARK

Hidden at the foot of Corcovado and surrounded by the Tijuca Forest, Lage Park is one of those places that Cariocas cherish — a garden of dense Atlantic forest, fountains, grottos, and natural pools that envelop an eclectic mansion from the early 20th century, now home to the Escola de Artes Visuais. Art, nature, and architecture in a combination of rare elegance — with Christ the Redeemer watching over everything in the background, as always.

YUPSTAR FERRIS WHEEL

The YupStar Ferris Wheel, located in the heart of Porto Maravilha, elevates visitors to over 88 meters high in a panoramic cabin that reveals, with each rotation, a 360-degree view of the most beautiful city in the world. The Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, and the Carioca coastline gathered in one image — suspended between the sky and the sea, as only Rio can provide.

NAVY´S CULTURAL MUSEUM

The Navy´s Museum, located in the heart of the historical port area, brings together museums, museum ships, and submarines open for visitation in an experience that sails between Brazilian naval history and Rio de Janeiro's intimate and foundational relationship with the sea.
