Visconde de Mauá is a charming mountain village located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Known for its stunning natural beauty, this laid-back destination offers visitors a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush forests, waterfalls, and crystal-clear rivers.

Mauá is another great idea for a weekend trip destination from Rio. It offers a very different scenery from the city of Rio. I love that there are a lot of beautiful cabins for rent in Mauá, so you can make it a really romantic holiday in the mountains.
