About this place
The North region of Rio de Janeiro state follows a distinct coastal logic: its name reflects the Brazilian tendency to think of “north” as moving along the shore toward the continent’s northern end, even though it doesn't occupy the state's northernmost point. This stretch links Campos dos Goytacazes — a significant regional center with a population over 500,000 — to neighboring areas like the Lakes Region to the south and the Serrana to the west. The tropical climate shapes its rhythms, and travelers will find the pace and scenery quite different from Rio’s famous capital.
