Discover Rio…by foot
In a world always more expensive, the “low-cost” tourism has become in just a few years a sector appreciated by a clientele which tries to discover the world under all its aspects without spending all of their economies. Our agency being situated in Rio, we thought useful to make you discover this city under another angle, the purpose being to use the least possible the transport which, after several days in Rio and during the international events turn out to be expensive. Furthermore, it will allow you to avoid the traffics, the taxis and their meters, the crowded buses which often prevent you from admiring the view and the beauty of the nature. You will just have simply to use your two legs and a good bottle of fresh water.
Let’s start from the district of Flamengo and its local merchants, by continuing on the beach you will find yourself in a few minutes to Botafogo where you can admire the beautiful view giving onto Pão de Açúcar(The Sugar loaf). Then go on Avenida Pasteur, paying tribute to the French scientist, you will be a few meters away from the big shopping mall Rio Sul just before arriving at the Pão de Açúcar, where you can rise aboard a cable railway and resting by admiring the view giving onto the city.
You have many options, for example, starting by the famous and so desired Praia of Copacabana where you can bask on the beach and sunbathe, you will have access to another district very appreciated by the South of Rio, that of Ipanema, who also possesses a magnificent beach, less crowded than that of Copacabana for those who would look for more peace but by staying in the city, near the storekeepers and the multiple restaurants.
By taking the avenue Borges de Medeiros, you will have for final destination the magnificent Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, immense pond situated very close to the botanical garden of Rio.
Feel reassured ; buses and subways are abundant in Rio, if you’re feeling tired, you will always find a solution to return to your apartments or to move throughout the city, from the Norte to the Sul.
Naturally, this is only a sketch of the multiple facets which the city of Rio offers, to see more of it and still in conditions also cariocas, choose the walking tours which will show you the main part of Rio de Janeiro with different itineraries.
