One of the world's most famous pre-Lenten celebrations - as well-known as those in Venice and New Orleans - takes place each winter in Rio de Janeiro. The celebrations begin shortly after New Year, but the splendor and extravagance reaches its spectacular climax in the four days before Ash Wednesday, attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators to its street parades, samba parties, and shows.
Other Brazilian cities celebrate Carnaval; it is also a major tourist event in Bahia and Recife, but Rio's is the most lavish. The most spectacular events are the parades of the samba schools, which are held in a unique venue designed by renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
The parade route is meters long and 13 meters wide. It was first used in and updated as a venue for the Olympic Games. Tijuca National Park protects the Tijuca Forest and several viewpoints overlooking the city, and surrounds Cristo Redentor , the giant-sized statue of Christ on Corcovado. To explore the park, you can leave the train up to Corcovado at a midpoint and follow the road through the forest. The 3,hectare Tijuca Forest, one of the world's largest forests within a city, was planted in the late s on land that had been destroyed by coffee plantations, to safeguard the springs that supplied Rio de Janeiro's water.
Most of the trees are native species and provide habitat for Capuchin monkeys, quatis Brazilian raccoon , colorful toucans, hawks, brilliant blue butterflies, and many other species of wildlife, which you may spot while exploring its trails and roads. From the pagoda-style pavilion at Morro da Vista Chinesa, meters above the shore, are views of the Municipal Park, the Botanic Garden, and a long stretch of the south coast.
Several waterfalls drop from the forest springs, including the meter Cascatinha Taunay. Highlights are the Orchidarium , an iron-and-glass greenhouse built in the s and filled with more than 2, species of orchids, and the Japanese Gardens with their cherry trees, wooden bridges, koi ponds, and Bonsai. A Sensory Garden of aromatic plants and herbs is signed in Braille.
The garden, which is a UNESCO biosphere reserve , contains more than 8, species of plant life and the birds and animals that make this their habitat, including Marmoset monkeys and toucans. You can walk through the gardens, under the soaring royal palms and pau-brasil trees, or ride through on an electric cart tour.
A must-see for football soccer fans when a game is scheduled, Brazil's largest stadium was home to the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympic Games. The stadium is used for matches between Rio's major football clubs, the Flamengo, Botafogo, Fluminense, and Vasco da Gama, as well as for concerts. The brief tour would be of interest to avid fans, but others should give it a miss. The shore of Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas , near Copacabana and Ipanema, where many other Olympic events took place, is lined by parks and sports clubs, and its waters are popular for regattas and other water sports.
A district of steep, quiet streets and hundred-year-old houses, Santa Tereza is Rio's most atmospheric neighborhood. Although its greatest charms are found just wandering its streets, which often open out onto beautiful views, there are several attractions and things to do, among them the church and convent of Santa Tereza, dating to Now pieces from more than 60 countries are represented in the steps, which cover meters of stairs.
The steps are a popular film location. The original church was without aisles until it was enlarged in the second half of the 17th century by the addition of eight side chapels. The finest artists of the Benedictine order were involved in decorating the interior.
Benedict and St. Scholastica on the high altar. The choir chapel has silver work by Mestre Valentim and 14 paintings by Ricardo do Pilar, a monk who was the foremost Benedictine painter of colonial Brazil.
The interior, which was begun in and completed in , is a riot of gilded wood carving. Among those who contributed to the decoration of the interior were Manuel and Francisco Xavier de Brito, two leading Portuguese sculptors and woodcarvers. They had very similar styles, known as Brito, using decorative forms that influenced Aleijadinho and other masters of Brazilian Baroque.
The ceiling of the choir has the earliest trompe-l'oeil painting in Brazil, completed in , the work of Caetano da Costa Coelho, who later painted the ceiling of the nave in the same style. Highlights are the sculptures by Henrique Bernardelli and paintings by Rodolfo Amoedo and Eliseu Visconti, as well as the drop curtain, the proscenium frieze, and the ceilings.
