cabo frio (cape cold) is located 156 kilometers south of rio de janeiro, in the região dos lagos, and it is reachable via the via lagos toll road. named after the cold, crisp waters of the surrounding ocean, the beach city is perfect foil to the hustle and bustle of rio - white sands, ample beaches, a constant breeze, and a small-town feel make of this city one of the top tourist destinations in the state of rio.

further, the city is quite active in organizing yearly events  such as the shrimp festival and the international dance festival, maintaining cabo frio at the top of the list among the vacation spots in the region - the site where cabo frio stands today was discovered in 1503 by italian explorer amerigo vespucci.

the region witnessed a number of attacks from french and dutch pirates throughout the years, as it was a useful docking area for ships - a sustained french attack was dispelled by the portuguese in 1615, and a few months later the city of santa helena was founded.  arrow-back      arrow-forward
