About Rio de Janeiro
The Centro Luiz Gonzaga de Tradições Nordestinas (Luiz Gonzaga Northeast´s Traditions´ Center) is a great option to eat, drink, dance and know a little bit about brazilian northeast´s culture. The place is also called Feira de SĂŁo CristĂłvĂŁo (SĂŁo CristĂłvĂŁo Fair) or Feira dos ParaĂbas (ParaĂbas´ Fair), has about 700 tents and 250 thousand visitors, including locals and tourists, go there every month.
The locals have a very busy life. They can relax on the beach on the weekend, but most of them are running to work from Monday to Friday. For this reason, most of them need to change the lunch for a snack & juice. This combination is becoming so popular among the locals as rice and black beans.
The Botanical Garden is one of the noblest neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro. The area around the wonderful public gardens, noted by its imperial palm trees, stretches from Parque Lage – a palace and cultural center worth visiting – to Horto – the neighborhood behind the Botanical Garden. There are countless old homes and modern mansions. Just walk up the Rua Lopes Quintas to take a look at many of them.
AsaĂ, azaĂ, huasaĂ or, in Portuguese, AçaĂ (Euterpe oleracea) is a palm that grows in northern South America and its fruit is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Its qualities have been known since prehistoric times and its cultivation in Brazil proliferated between the 1980’s and 90’s. Very recently açaĂ became famous around the world and is consumed in energy bars, ice cream, capsules, gel and creams.
Rio de Janeiro is one of the few seaside resorts in the world that when it rains, still has a lot to offer. The metropolis of Rio boasts a tremendous amount of cultural activities and many of them are either free or, at least affordable.
Rio de Janeiro was Brazil's capital from 1763 to 1960 and most of the political heritage of that era is found in the neighborhoods of Catete and Laranjeiras. The tour can be done on foot and it’s ideal to leave the standard circuit and wander in the typical residential areas of Rio as well. Catete Subway Station is within walking distance of the Palacio do Catete, the former house of the government, and now the Museu da República.
Gávea is a high middle class neighborhood located in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. The name is a reference to Pedra da Gávea (Gávea´s Stone, located in São Conrado neighborhood) which formation is very similar to a ship´s topsail.
We can say Rio de Janeiro is a curvilinear city because there are ocean curves, women´s bodies´ curves and also the curves of the architect Oscar Niemeyer´s works.
There is a strong connection between Brazil and Japan. The largest Japanese population outside Japan lies in Brazil and, fortunately, their culinary culture has expanded throughout much of Brazil. Although Sao Paulo is the largest Japanese gastronomic center, Rio de Janeiro is not far behind. Japanese food choices in Rio are plentiful and they continue to multiply.
In recent years the Lapa district went from one of the most dangerous and dark neighborhoods to the biggest icon of nightlife in Rio. Its well-lit streets, especially the Avenida Mem de Sá - which is closed to traffic on weekends between 10 pm and 5 am -gather a diverse collection of style, music, entertainment and, of course, dining options.
Rio de Janeiro seems to have been designed to be admired from above. Be it from Corcovado, Pão de Açúcar, Vista Chinesa or Pedra da Gávea, the city boasts views of an aesthetically unsurpassed geography. Maybe that’s why they call it the “Cidade Maravilhosa” (The Marvelous City).
