Beaches in Rio: São Conrado Beach

São Conrado Beach is in the neighborhood of the same name in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro city.

It is approximately two kilometers long. Its sea is agitated most of the year, requiring attention when bathing.

The waterfront is almost exclusively residential with only one functioning hotel, the Hotel Nacional.

Unfortunately the beach suffers from pollution. On rainy days it is possible to see sewage pouring into its sands.

As in most of the city's beaches, there are kiosks where it is possible to have a meal or just drink coconut water.

It is worth visiting and admiring its beautiful landscape, especially at sunset.





Location: Praia de São Conrado, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brasil

Pedra Branca State Park - The largest urban forest in the world.

Image
 The Pedra Branca State Park is in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro and encompasses eleven neighborhoods in the city. The park is considered one of the largest urban forests in the world. There are trails of all levels that lead to beautiful viewpoints, waterfalls, natural pools, a lake and even wild beaches. The park suffers from abandonment, as the number that takes care of security is very low compared to the size of the area. The forest suffers from the advance of irregular constructions and the action of hunters, which ends up making it difficult to observe the local fauna. Pedra Branca State Park is the highest point in the city at 1025 meters high, but its view is limited due to the vegetation that surrounds the place.
