From Rio de Janeiro to the
rest of the world
Rio de Janeiro’s capital city is close to the main highland
and coastal cities, at no more than 185 Km (115 mi) away by
highway. The only exception to this rule is Paraty, on the Green
Coast, which is 252 Km (156.5 mi) away. This city is closer
to Petrópolis, in the Serra Verde Imperial (Green Imperial
Highlands), at only 70 Km (43.5 mi) away.
By air, Rio is about 50 minutes away from two important Brazilian
capitals: São Paulo and Vitória. It’s a
two hour trip to Porto Alegre, one of the southern region's
main capitals. Arriving in Manaus, the capital of Amazonas,
in the Northern Region, takes an average of four hours (with
stopover).
The city of Rio de Janeiro is connected to the main international
capitals by regular flights in trips that take from as little
as three hours, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to as much as 25
hours to arrive in Tokyo, Japan.
