Rio de Janeiro state


While discovering the city of Rio visitors have the opportunity to explore the areas surrounding the city. The two most popular day trips away from the city reflect the variety of options offered by the state of Rio and Brazil itself. One takes visitors into the mountains, to the historic town of Petropolis, while the other to an area known as Angra dos Reis, the King’s Cove, with its 365 tropical islands, one for every day of the year. A third alternative is the Sun Coast in the opposite direction from Rio than Angra, we can find the fishing village Buzios. Here its both charming and sophisticated and it is not only the town and its enchanting hotels that are the attraction, but the peninsula’s nineteen sandy and seductive beaches, each of which has its own special charm.
