The beach at Cabo Frio
Rio de Janeiro State
R
IO DE JANEIRO STATE
is one of Brazil's most beautiful regions. Its
coastline is dotted with resorts and pretty colonial fishing towns, and
fringed with glorious white-sand beaches. The mountainous interior features
the former summer retreats of Brazil's Portuguese royal family, who struggled
to adjust to the heat of urban Rio. Many of the higher slopes remain covered
by the Mata Atlântica, or the Atlantic coastal rain forest, which preserves
Brazil's most diverse ecosystem. Much of the forest is protected by a series
of national and state parks, including Itatiaia and the Serra dos Órgãos, both
of which offer superb bird-watching and wildlife-spotting opportunities.
