Tips and Tricks of the carioca way of life

The reason why Rio de Janeiro is the reference image of Brazil is because of its history, which started a long time ago, when Rio de Janeiro de Sao Sebastiao was the capital of the country. When the city lost its status of capital to Brasilia in 1964, it stayed the main reference of Brazil in the minds of people all over the world and still been a reference for public administration (BNDES, Petrobrás, etc) and it still is nowadays.


That is why you can find old building mix of the modern one. But in Rio you just can find an one building with the Barroco style, that was other problem, the administration, that thougth that the nice is the new, and revenew after revenew this is the city that you will find today.




So, if Sao Paulo is the city of business and culture, Rio is the city of the cariocas and the beach. Here you can find some products that exist only in the city, like the Mate-Leao (black ice-tea) or the traditional “Biscoito Globo” (biscuit with povilho) which has a funny history.



The CEO of the “biscoitos Globo” was asked to export the biscuit to other cities, but since the biscuit was created in Rio, he said that it should continue to be produced and sold in Rio.


And if you pass to Copacabana will be impossible to not see and stop in a typical fruit restaurant. Where you can find fresh juices and all kinds of sandwiches and salgados
