Officially, Carioca means being natural from the city of Rio de Janeiro. But much more than that, being a Carioca is a state of mind!

Popularly, we say that who is born and raised in Rio is considered “Carioca da gema” or Carioca of the yolk”. But as Rio is a very charming and welcoming city, whoever was born outside Rio but has adapted to our customs and lifestyle, is considered “Carioca de coração” or “Carioca of the heart”.

👉So, what are you? Carioca of the yolk or Carioca of the heart? 🐣💛
Tell us in the comments below! 😉

📇Read more about the meaning and origin of the word at our blog (link in bio).

Oficialmente, Carioca significa ser natural da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Mas muito mais do que isso, ser carioca é um estado de espírito!

Popularmente, dizemos que quem nasce e cresce no Rio é considerado “Carioca da gema” ou Carioca da gema”. Mas como o Rio é uma cidade muito charmosa e acolhedora, quem nasceu fora do Rio mas se adaptou aos nossos costumes e estilo de vida, é considerado “Carioca de coração” ou “Carioca do coração”.

Então, o que você é? Carioca da gema ou Carioca do coração?

Today, October 27th, the Parque Bondinho Pão de Açúcar celebrates 110 years of its opening in 1912. It is the oldest tourist attraction in the city (Christ the Redeemer was inaugurated only 19 years later, in 1931).

And do you know the history of the famous cable car? 🚠

In 1908, during the National Exhibition in the neighborhood of Urca, the engineer Augusto Ferreira Ramos looked at the sky and asked himself: "Imagine connecting these two hills with a cable car?". At first, many considered his idea crazy, but after a few years, Augusto managed to raise funds to get his project off the ground, and the dream came true!

Drag to the side 👉and discover three other curiosities about the attraction! 😉

A true Carioca prefers to spend new year's eve on the beach. And it's even better if the beach is Copacabana Beach! After all, New Year's Eve party in Copacabana, or Réveillon as Brazilians often call it, is the biggest New Year's Eve party in Brazil and the world.

Every year there is a big party on the sands of Copacabana beach. The main attraction is an approximately 15-minute fireworks display, preceded and followed by various Brazilian artists' concerts, currently attracting about two million people.

A favorite destination for Cariocas when winter arrives, Petrópolis is just 68km from the capital, in the state's mountainous region. ⛰

The city, known as the Imperial City for having been D. Pedro II's refuge during his reign in the 19th century, still retains the many mansions built to receive the court and aristocrats who fled the heat of Rio de Janeiro. The charm of the royal buildings, the pleasant climate, and excellent tourist infrastructure make the city one of the main destinations to enjoy winter in Southeast Brazil.

It was 1565, and the French had taken over some regions of our city, intending to found a colony here. Then, for fear of losing their territory, the Portuguese (who already dominated other parts of the Brazilian coast) sent an expedition that landed right at the entrance to Guanabara Bay, on a narrow strip of land between Morro Cara de Cão and Pão de Açúcar. And after the definitive expulsion of the French invaders, Estácio de Sá officially founded the city of Rio de Janeiro on March 1st.

Today the place houses the São João da Barra Fortress, controlled by the Brazilian Army. Visits to the foundation site are possible but need to be booked in advance. Symbolically, there is also a ground zero of the city next to the Urca pier, with free access to the public.

An amazing place (and little known by tourists) has just reopened for visits in the city: The Maze!

The Maze is a cultural complex located in the Tavares Bastos community, in the Catete neighborhood. Its walls are covered in colorful tile mosaics, which make up an artistic collection started by the British Bob Nadkarni in 1981. The place has also used to be an Indian restaurant and bar with jazz, but at the moment, these activities are still suspended.

The Maze is open daily from 1pm to 5pm, with an entrance fee of R$10 and some say the attraction is the Parque Guell Carioca! 😉
