The city of Rio de Janeiro is globally famous for its various tourist attractions, the year-round summer heat, amazing cuisine, and the hospitality of the inhabitants of this fantastic city. What else could surprise the tourist who has already visited the Corcovado, the Sugarloaf, the Tijuca Forest, or Ilha Grande?
Well, my answer is quite simple, to top off the visit to Brazil, how about visiting a Biological reserve and observing the Golden lion tamarin in its habitat? The tourist will have the privilege of admiring the Golden lion tamarin, a rare primate species native to Brazil, that is threatened with extinction and is only found in this region of Rio de Janeiro.
The Biological reserve is known for the beauty of its flora and fauna, including being home to other threatened species such as the jaguar, the maned wolf, and the tapir, making it ideal for ecotourism and nature observation. At the end of the visit, the tourist can enjoy an unforgettable experience by planting a tree sapling, thus leaving a significant mark of their visit to the biological reserve.
