What to do and see in Botafogo, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Sights & Landmarks

February 26, 2022 Matilde Konrad

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Live in Botafogo and Love my Neighborhood but had never entered Basilica Imaculada Conceicao!! Usually went to Masses at Copacabana but decided to go to this Gothic Church, that had No idea it was such a different Gothic style one, bright and colourfull inside. Thanks God arrived there earlier and could appreciate that Wonderfull piece of Religious Art ! & The Masses are also very Good and Inspiring!
