Praia Vermelha is a small and hidden beach located at the foot of the Sugarloaf Mountain. It is located in the Urca neighborhood, a pleasant, charming and one of the safest region in the city. Despite not being among the most popular beaches in Rio de Janeiro, it is very suitable for those who want a place far from the agglomerations and surrounded by beauty.

Getting there is easy, it is located between the Pão de Açúcar hill and the Babilônia hill. Just go to the end of Avenida Pasteur. On the access street to the Urca district is Praça General Tibúrcio and the beach is right after the square.

Vista Chinesa, in the Tijuca Forest, is the largest monument in Latin America in honor of an oriental country. It was also awarded as the best Chinese portal outside of China.
From the belvedere, you can see the Chinese view of Guanabara Bay, Cristo Redentor, Ipanema and Leblon beaches, Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Dois Irmãos Hill, Niterói and Sugarloaf Mountain
The bamboo and cement structure with the shape of an oriental pavilion is called a pagoda. It was built between 1902 and 1906 in honor of the Chinese who brought tea to Brazil in the previous century.
