 cated in Rio de Janeiro, Tijuca National Park is a national park for biodiversity conservation. It is part of the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Preserve and is managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation. Its diverse flora and fauna attract nature lovers from around the world.

The forest is surrounded by lakes, viewpoints, and historical sites. Hiking trails offer stunning views and easy paths. Visiting the park is an excellent opportunity to learn Portuguese. The national park contains three million trees, making it the largest urban forest in the world. If you want to see the city from a different perspective, this is the perfect location.

The park is home to 12 different species of agoutis. This resilient and charismatic animal eats more leaves than fruit. The Parks and Gardens Foundation, which manages Campo de Santana, is collaborating with the Rio Zoo to reintroduce this unique primate to the park.

Hikers will enjoy hiking through the park, which has 200km of hiking trails. The trails are suitable for all levels of fitness, including beginners. Hikers should bring light food and drink plenty of water. It's also important to bring along sun protection. It's also a good idea to seek advice from an experienced guide, especially if you're a beginner.

The park also serves as an important laboratory for reintroduction of extinct species. The park's location in the heart of the Atlantic Forest has made it the perfect location to introduce some of the animals that were once abundant in the region. Previously, 33 species of large mammals were present, but only eleven survive in the forest today. These interactions are essential for maintaining the ecosystem's health. When large mammals are absent from the forest, plant life suffers.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
