Flamengo Park (Aterro do Flamengo)

Flamengo Park, also known as Aterro do Flamengo, is a sprawling waterfront park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Designed by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, the park was created in the 1960s by landfilling Guanabara ... Bay. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as jogging, cycling, picnicking, and relaxing on the grassy lawns while taking in stunning views of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Guanabara Bay. The park also features playgrounds, sports courts, and cultural attractions like the Museum of Modern Art. The best time to visit Flamengo Park is during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day. This is when locals gather to exercise, socialize, and enjoy the beauty of the park. Immerse yourself in the local culture by joining a game of beach volleyball or watching a capoeira performance, a traditional Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance and acrobatics. Flamengo Park is a beloved gathering place for cariocas (Rio locals) and offers a glimpse into the vibrant lifestyle of Rio de Janeiro. Read more ▼
