Jacarepaguá, Residential district in western Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The neighborhood spans across 75.8 square kilometers between Maciço da Tijuca mountains and Serra da Pedra Branca, neighboring Barra da Tijuca to the east.
The area transformed from agricultural lands into an urban settlement during the late 20th century, reflecting Rio de Janeiro's rapid expansion westward.
The district contains multiple samba schools, including Unidos de Jacarepaguá, and hosts numerous traditional festivities throughout the year.
The neighborhood connects to central Rio de Janeiro through multiple bus lines and contains several shopping centers, including Rio Shopping and Quality Shopping.
Jacarepaguá houses Latin America's largest television production center, including Projac Globo's studio and RecNov facilities.
