Inland: North to the mountains
Excellent bus services from Rio de Janeiro make the
interior of the state easily accessible, and its mountainous
wooded landscape and relatively cool climate are a pleasant
contrast to the coastal heat. There's not a great deal in the way
of historical interest, but the scenic beauty of the countryside,
studded with small towns still bearing their colonial heritage, is
an attraction in itself.
