if the summer heat in rio de janeiro is too much or too hot, this town can provide refuge as it is higher up in the mountains, nestled within a green valley and blessed by fresh breezes - teresópolis is a common tourist destination due to its beauty and tranquility, offering a variety of lodging options, architecture, and restaurants, with a lot of european influences as well.

secluded as it may seem, this town is home to some lodging options with amazing views, and one of the best russian restaurants in brazil - this small town, which can be seen as a place of culture and beauty, prides itself on fantastic eateries, and a peaceful environment, but there are a few low-key bars scattered around.

regarded by many as one of best places to stay in teresópolis, the pousada chamonix guesthouse is located close to the fonte amélia, the granja comary and the parque nacional da serra dos órgãos - one of the nicest national parks in brazil.
