at a glance

the town of petrópolis can be found high in the mountains at almost 1000 meters above sea level, only 70 kilometers north of rio de janeiro - it is possible to visit petrópolis in one day and there are regular buses leaving from rio de janeiro, along with  a variety of tour operators that arrange same-day trips with pick-up and drop-off at many hotels.

the route is particularly scenic with many bridges, mountain ridges, and lush valleys along the way - the tropical mountains of serra dos órgăos can also be viewed from the bus window for a large part of the trip.

some of the roads can appear a little weathered though so many have been repaired in recent years, and every now and then it may feel a touch precarious, so caution is always recommended.  arrow-back     arrow-forward
