Local Highlights of Rio de Janeiro
Geobeats, one of our favorite travel video websites, recently featured the Parque da Catacumba in Rio de Janeiro, on its blog. This tropical park offers a fantastic view of the city as well as a lovely display of sculptures. As the author points out, it is known for having once been a favela, but is also one of the city's best kept secrets.
A few other secrets that we've let out of the bag include Parrot's Beak, an urban hike, and Parque Lage, a breathtaking mansion and gardens in the shadow of Corcovado Mountain.
For those who are planning a truly special moment, you might want to check out a few of our suggestions for the best place in Rio to pop the big question.
