This enormous fair (32,000 sq meters with over 600 stalls) is not to be missed. It showcases the culture from the northeast, with barracas (food stalls) selling Bahian dishes as well as beer and cachaça (cane liquor), which flows in great abundance here. The best time to go is on the weekend, when you can catch live bands playing forró, plus samba groups and comedy troupes, MPB (Música Popular Brasileria) and rodas de capoeira (capoeira circles).

Parks & Nature
We recommend experiencing (during daylight) this amazing open park. Try it on sundays when the main road is closed and you can see every type of person having fun. Great for sports, for riding a bike, skate or rollerblades, to run or walk or just seat by the trees. When you reach Botafogo through the park, you will be amazed by the best view of the Sugar Loaf.

Amazing park built as a garden and palace remodeled by an Italian architect to please the lyrical singer Gabriella Besanzoni, wife of Henrique Lage, owner of the property. If you like trekking, the best outdoor trail in Rio starts in this park, leading to Christ the Redeemer (2 hours up and 1:30 hours down, difficulty level medium). Through the trail, you will likely see up to 4 species of monkeys.

The best beach in Rio! This beach became a protected reserve after the activism of some surfers. Today it isn´t a paradise just for surfers, but to anyone that wishes to be in touch with the nature. Looking to the ocean, at the right edge of the beach there is a restaurant with ocean view outdoor tables, where you can try fresh fishes grilled at your wish.
