Brazil · Rio de Janeiro state

Rio de Janeiro state: iconic city, Atlantic coast and green mountains.

Rio state is much more than its capital. The city gives you Brazil’s most famous urban scenery, but Paraty, Ilha Grande, Região dos Lagos, Búzios and the Serra dos Órgãos create strong coastal, historic and mountain extensions within one compact Southeast state.

State overview

Rio de Janeiro

A first trip can combine Rio city with one coastal extension, while repeat visitors can build deeper routes through colonial towns, islands, diving areas and highland hiking. Travel times are manageable by Brazilian standards, but holiday traffic and mountain or boat logistics still matter.
