Those who prefer the daytime also have things to do in Brazil. One of the interesting must-visit places is the rusting Paranapiacaba British railway station in Santo André jungles. From the middle of the 19th century until the 1940s, trains carried people from Sao Paulo to the Port in Santos along it. Here, tourists will find overgrown rails, rusty remains of carriages, and even a small replica of Big Ben. Nature lovers must find time to visit Parnamirim famous for the ancient cashew tree that spreads for 8,000 square meters and forms a real forest. This giant covers an area the size of almost five football fields. No one can say how old the tree is. Around the tree, there are small souvenir shops selling alcoholic drinks with cashew nut, wood crafts, and other related products. However, to see the giant, you need to pay a small fee at the entrance to its territory.
Those who are eager for adventure should go on a hiking tour of the Pedra da Gávea Mountain. From its top, you can admire the whole city of Rio. Travelers who do not want to climb rocks for two and a half hours for the sake of a beautiful view are invited to fly a hang glider under the guidance of professionals. What could be more fantastic than hovering over colorful Rio admiring the mountains, the city, the national park, and the Atlantic Ocean!
