Jacarepaguá, Residential district in western Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Jacarepaguá is a residential district in western Rio de Janeiro situated between the Maciço da Tijuca mountain range and Serra da Pedra Branca. The area comprises multiple neighborhoods and shopping centers that shape daily life for its residents.
The district was once agricultural land before transforming into an urban center during the second half of the 20th century. This development was part of Rio de Janeiro's westward expansion.
The neighborhood is home to several samba groups that organize traditional celebrations throughout the year. Visitors can sense the energy of these dancing communities in their everyday spaces.
Multiple bus lines connect the district to central Rio de Janeiro, making travel within and beyond the area straightforward. Major shopping centers like Rio Shopping and Quality Shopping are centrally located and easy to reach.
The district houses Latin America's largest television production center with Globo studios and advanced production facilities. These sites are where many popular Brazilian broadcasts are created.
