Nova Friburgo

3.7
Parks · Art Galleries · Bodies of Water
Founded by Swiss colonists in the image of their homeland, Nova Friburgo stands as a monument to Brazil's diverse ethnic heritage and entices visitors with its notable natural attractions. A tour of Nova Friburgo reveals a number of 19th-century European-style architectural gems (interspersed with a large concentration of lingerie shops, oddly enough). Thanks to its position in a tropical mountain valley, ecotourism in Nova Friburgo thrives, with hiking and mountaineering a couple of the most popular activities. Nearby rock formations and rugged peaks make rewarding treks, while hidden waterfalls and misty mornings provide relaxing alternatives. After dark, the young population and energetic town center keep things more than lively. Use our online itinerary creator: Nova Friburgo and all its delights await.
