Located in the Serra Fluminense, the city features the expansive Praça Getúlio Vargas and a chairlift leading to the Morro da Cruz summit. Natural landmarks include the 1,400-meter Pedra do Imperador and the confluence of the Macaé and Bonito rivers at Encontro dos Rios. Artistic sites like Jardim do Nêgo showcase unique mud sculptures integrated into the mountain landscape.
