Review:

The Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon has a rich history dating back many years; it was once inhabited by the Tamoios Indians, Portuguese colonies, and the Portuguese Royal Family who constructed the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, which is still present today. The lagoon is connected to the Atlantic Ocean and is surrounded by many family-friendly attractions and activities. Visitors can explore the natural landmark, go for a walk or run on its jogging trails, enjoy a leisurely bike ride, take photographs, go rowing, or spend the day at one of the many social clubs along the lagoon.
