[Suburban resort area, Bugios]
Bugios, a city about 3 hours drive from Rio.
It is one of Brazil's leading resorts and is ranked in the top 5 cities in Brazil visited by foreign tourists.
It wasn't very familiar to Japanese customers, but due to the influence of the corona, it has gained a lot of attention, and people living in São Paulo are coming to visit.
As a measure against corona, Bugios issues a QR code issued by the accommodation and tour company to tourists in advance and checks it at the entrance of the city to prevent it from becoming unnecessarily dense.
How about working away from the hustle and bustle of the city while relaxing on a beautiful beach?
[Rio de Janeiro Fish Market]
"San Pedro Fish Market" in Niterói, next to Rio de Janeiro
It's a hidden lunch and sightseeing spot that tourists also visit.
Many restaurants in Rio de Janeiro also buy fish from here.

When you come to Rio, be sure to visit Niterói!
[State of Copacabana Beach]
Rio de Janeiro was on a carnival vacation without a parade.
The occupancy rate of the hotel was about half of the average year, there were few tourists, and there was no parade, so the atmosphere was quiet, but the weather was fine and I was able to spend a relaxing time.
[Samba team / Sargueiro practice scene]
Unfortunately, this year's carnival has been canceled, but we usually hold public practice every Saturday about four months before the actual performance to showcase the results of our daily practice.
The funds obtained from the admission fee, food and drink charges in the venue, sales of goods, etc. will be important funds for the team's activities, so you will naturally get into the practice and show the dance and performance just like the actual performance!
If you want to come to the carnival but can't, don't worry, there are places in Rio where you can enjoy the carnival atmosphere outside of the actual time!
