I am a Carioca (born and raised in Rio), who lived in Hamburg, Paris, London , and Manaus and since 1986 have been back to my home city. Graduated in Tourism, I have worked as head concierge at a 5 star hotel when I became the second President of the Golden Keys Brazil (International Association of Concierges - I am a Clefs D'Or Honoray Member). I have also worked in the Brazilian Embassy in London, in the travel and hotel industries , and in leading global companies. I have decided to become a guide based not only on my previous work experiences but also on my interests in cultural life and high standard traveling. As a "Carioca da Gema" (born and raised in Rio) I have covered the streets and quarters of the city and its surroundings. I enjoy discovering unique and interesting places worth remembering. In this way I can plan and put together a most exciting tour of the Wonderful City.

The most significant collections of tropical and subtropical plants in the world.
Overview of your Rio De Janeiro tour
Built by the architect Roberto Burle Marx in his residence in the city's West Zone, the site Burle Marx offers its 365 thousand square meters in a trip by beautiful gardens. The landscape brought together one of the most important collections of tropical and subtropical plants, which has more than 3, 500 species. This large set of live plants adapted perfectly to the habitual nature of the site, consisting of mangroves, sandbank and the Atlantic Forest. The guided tours of the park present you the species that inhabit, telling the story of this important Brazilian architect and landscape designer. Also you will discover architecture, studio paintings and personal collections of Burle Marx plants. Brazilian born of European parents, this talented artist completely changed the design of gardens. Daring introducing abstract patterns, mixing native and exotic species, working on different textures, colours & tones, Burle Marx is able to produce fabulous art pieces present in projects all over the world.
