Parque do Flamengo has one of the most stunning view from the Sugar Loaf and the best Churrascaria (barbecuehouse) in Rio , Porcão Rio's. I suggest a visit to Porcão, than a walk around the Park to spend the super-extra-calories delightfully earned. More

Don't waste your time stoping and taking a look, unless you want to take a still picture of the Sugar Loaf. The park is sun lighted everywhere and the trees don't help much with the heat. On your way to the Santos Dumont Airport, enjoy the trip, and that's it! More

The aterro (a reclaimed area, as the word says) was created by the great brazilian modernist architects of the 1950's. It is very nicely draws, but it fell into a bit of a state of abandonment during the past 30 years of economical crisis. However, since Brazil began to pick up steam, and since Rio was chosen for the Olympics,... More

If you can stop and pay good attention to it, Aterro do Flamengo is a true masterpiece. Art made with exotic trees, careful design in wide open spaces conquered from the sea thanks to a major urban engineering project in the 1960's. Beware of pickpockets and homeless who sometimes ramble on this beautiful place. Go to Rio's Restaurant for the... More
