リオデジャネイロの穴場スポット

Rio's Hidden Gems

Rio de Janeiro's lesser-known spots offer a mix of natural wonders and modern hubs. Tijuca National Park preserves one of the world's largest urban forests, featuring the Chinese-style gazebo at Vista Chinesa and the 844-meter granite monolith of Pedra da Gávea. Along the coast, Praia Vermelha provides views of Sugarloaf Mountain, while the secluded Praia da Joatinga is accessible only during low tide. For modern amenities, the Barra Shopping complex in Barra da Tijuca has served as a major commercial center since its opening in 1981.
