Guanabara Bay is the second largest bay in area in Brazil (412 km², with a perimeter of 143 km).
Guanabara's Bay, surrounded by luxuriant tropical forests, beaches, strangely-shaped rocks and peaks, and a backdrop of the high mountains of Serra do Mar, is bordered by one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so it is considered one of the world's premier tourists spots.
Guanabara Bay was discovered in January 1, 1502 by Portuguese explorer Gaspar de Lemos, who named it Rio de Janeiro (January River), because they thought it was a large river coming to the sea.

The state of Rio de Janeiro, surrounding the city, is a fairly recent phenomenon, established in 1975 as a result of the amalgamation of Guanabara State and Rio city.
Fairly small by Brazilian standards, the state is both beautiful and accessible, with easy trips either east along the Costa do Sol or west along the Costa Verde, taking in unspoilt beaches, washed by a relatively unpolluted ocean.
If you planning on renting a car, this is as good a state as any to brave the traffic: the coasts are an easy drive from the city and stopping off at more remote beaches is easy, while your own wheels would let you get to grips with the extraordinary scenery up in the mountains.
