Known for its country clubs and natural parks, Nova Iguaçu is a city in the northern suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, in so called Baixada Fluminense ("Rio's lowlands"). With a population of 820,000 people, Nova Iguaçu is a residential city where commerce and services play a key role in the local economy. The city is home to eight universities, three modern shopping malls, and five cultural centers. BR-116, the primary longitudinal highway of the country, traverses the city, highlighting its strategic position.
Did you know that Nova Iguaçu is home to its very own volcano? The main peak at Nova Iguaçu Natural Park bears this title and is enveloped by magnificent waterfalls, captivating hiking routes, and even a hang gliding launch site for the daring.
Opting for a helicopter scenic tour opens up a world of choices. You can take a 45-minute overflight of Christ the Redeemer or create a tailor-made itinerary on a luxurious Bell 429 to explore neighboring cities like Angra dos Reis or Buzios.
