muda da tijuca is a small sub-district of the tijuca neighborhood - one of the best known and most important neighborhoods in rio de janeiro. located in the zona norte (north zone), this area was once a large wetland, covered in jungle and swamps - following the arrival of the portuguese it was initially used by the jesuit priests, and later by a series of smaller proprietors. the extensive exploitation of the land devastated the old jungles, prompting the emperor of brazil, dom pedro ii, to order the replanting of much of the tijuca forrest - still, large areas remained occupied, and eventually they were used to accommodate the urban expansion of rio de janeiro. |
