at a glance

rio de janeiro is a remarkably green city, rich in mostly evergreen atlantic forest, called mata atlântica - this vegetation can be seen just about anywhere in rio, and becomes an integral part of some entire districts of the city.

forests in rio have become part of the local identity, as they strongly influence many aspects of carioca life.

in addition to being a vital part of eco-tourism, they also influence the climate, water supply, and are ever present in the landscape of many residents. arrow-back     arrow-forward
