Synopsis
Visit an extraordinary hill where the “little angels” are buried; discover remarkable forgotten Art Deco buildings; see a plane taking off at really close range, leftovers from the 1908 and 1922 Universal Expositions, a beautiful private palace open to visitors once a month, modernist ceramics hidden on the 15th-floor terrace of a former government building, a remarkable secret staircase; experience little-known walks and views of the city; find an Amazonian talisman at Copacabana, vestiges of the Carioca river, a rare statue of the great-grandmother of Jesus, a taxi nightclub, a work of art in a favela, a disused airship hangar ...
Far from the crowds and the usual beach and carnival clichés, Rio de Janeiro has countless treasures it reveals only to residents and travellers who wander off the beaten track.
An indispensable guide for all those who thought they were familiar with Rio or would like to discover the other face of the city.

About the Author
Thomas Jonglez was born and grew up in Paris. At the age of 22 he set out to discover the world, and spent most of 1992 backpacking around South America. Next he bought a one-way ticket to Beijing, from where he decided to make his way back to Paris overland – a trip that took him seven months. On his return, he tirelessly trawled the streets of Paris for material to write his first guidebook, which was published in 1996. After several years with the steel industry, he launched his publishing company in 2003. The first edition of Secret Paris came out in 2007. Ever since, he has regularly strolled around the capital, constantly surprised to discover new secret places in a city he thought he knew so well.
Manoel de Almeida e Silva
Born in the very traditional neighbourhood of Gamboa, Manoel de Almeida e Silva grew up in Engenho Velho, a long-forgotten name for the area around Tijuca in Rio’s Zona Norte. As a journalist and education specialist, he has lived in several countries during twenty-eight years of work with the United Nations, but has now settled in Copacabana. For this guide he has revived personal memories which, combined with his own research and suggestions from friends who are equally enthusiastic about Carioca diversity, aim to help expand the city’s tourist itinerary.
