helping visitors to rio de janeiro experience the true wonders of the city, rio patrimônio da humanidade offers an in-depth guide to rio's five most popular areas, including the copacabana waterfront, parque do flamengo, botafogo bay/sugar loaf mountain, floresta da tijuca and jardim botânico.

the app was inspired by unesco's 2012 declaration of rio de janeiro as a world heritage site.

as well as offering a handheld tour of the five chosen areas, the app suggests walking routes and tourist attractions, as well as podcasts, which explain the history of the sights, all in various different languages - more information on this page, or via i-tunes here.
