Petropolis Vacations and Luxury Travel Packages

In 1854, British engineers constructed the first railway line between Rio and Petropolis. Today, the BR 040 highway traces breathtaking curves at a climatically cozy 840 meters above sea level, affording numerous opportunities to appreciate the natural beauty of the Serra do Mar and Guanabara Bay - that is, providing the thick ocean fog doesn't roll in and spoil the view. Petropolis, once home to the Emperor, is only 66 kilometers away from Rio, and is therefore a favorite dayexcursion destination for Brazilians.

Petropolis is also only eight kilometers from the huge Quitandinha Complex, which opened as a casino in 1944 but became redundant when the national lottery was introduced. In the mid-1990s, the world of finance decided that the palacelike hotel would make a good investment, and Cariocas in need of a break from the rigors of urban life can now relax in the refurbished 400-suite facility, complete with shopping center and health club.
