The Açude do Camorim, or 'Camorim Reservoir', is a large catchment of water encircled by mountains, and is the product of a dam designed by Sampaio Corrêa, and built by Henrique de Novaes in 1908. A little further along from the reservoir, is the Cachoeiras do Camorim, or 'camorim waterfalls', and this oasis, along with the reservoir, forms one of the most stunningly beautiful locations in the Rio. At the border with jacarepaguá are the pavilions of Rio Centro, or 'Rio Center', the largest convention centre in latin america, where important exhibitions, fairs, shows and events take place. since it opened in 1977 it has hosted such prestigious events as the UN conference on sustainable development (UNCSD) and the book biennal of rio de janeiro. on this page we listed all neighborhoods in rio, including unofficial neighborhoods, divided by city zone - this map shows all neighborhoods in rio de janeiro, grouped by city zone and color coded - zona west in pink, zona north in green, zona sul in light green, and zona central in beige. |
