Itaboraí, in Rio de Janeiro State, is a practical stopover for business travelers. Located near major highways and close to Rio de Janeiro, it boasts a population of 220.000 inhabitants. While the city can't be considered a luxury destination, it offers essential amenities and two four-star hotels suitable for short stays. For relaxation, visitors have the option to explore cultural sites or pick between Região dos Lagos by the coast or Teresópolis in the mountains.
The Ruins of the Convent of Saint Bonaventure offer a fascinating glimpse into the region's colonial past. Built in the 17th century by Franciscan monks, this site features remnants of ancient walls and arches, set amidst lush surroundings. For those visiting for the first time, the calm setting and historical architecture will be appealing, even though the location may seem isolated and undeveloped. Looking for alternative settings? Visit the neighboring cities of Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis, or Saquarema.
