another breezy alternative is the walk from botafogo to glória, a promenade offering gorgeous views of the botafogo cove and of guanabara bay.

this casual walk is worth doing with plenty of free time to take in the various sights and sounds of the bustling and vibrant city.

beginning in botafogo, this neighborhood offers interesting detours - this includes a handful of museums like the museu do índio, which preserves over 12,000 objects from a vast range of brazilian indigenous groups.
