just 13-kilometers from the center of rio de janeiro city across the guanabara bay, sits the much calmer, much quieter city of niterói. it is a cultural hub, filled with points of artistic and historical interest and draws in many visitors across the iconic rio-niterói bridge, to get a slice of serenity, away from the hustle and bustle of marvelous city.

part of the attraction of niterói is its tropical ecology and fascinating environmental portfolio, which is customary for the region, and has decorated the surrounding area with beautiful beaches, lush forests, expansive mountains and aquatic marvels.
