Rio de Janeiro - Flamengo & Around
Running east from the bay out to Corcovado, the residential neighborhoods of Flamengo, Laranjeiras, Catete, Glória and Cosme Velho have much history hidden in their old streets. The beach-fronting Parque do Flamengo – one of the world’s largest urban parks – dominates the region.
- take the steep cog train up Corcovado for a panoramic view beneath Rio’s open-armed Cristo Redentor.
- explore Rio’s past days of demagogues and political intrigue in the Museu da República.
- admire the colorful works of talented but little-known artists at the Museu Internacional de Arte Naïf do Brasil.
Coverage includes: Neighborhood Top Five, Explore Flamengo & around, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment, Shopping and Sports & Activities.
