Recreio dos Bandeirantes

Recreio dos Bandeirantes extends over 30 square kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring residential areas interspersed with natural landscapes and beaches.

The neighborhood was officially established in 1981 as an extension of Barra da Tijuca, transforming from an undeveloped area into a structured residential district.

The district maintains active community organizations where residents collaborate through digital platforms to share information and coordinate neighborhood improvements.

The area connects to central Rio de Janeiro through the Bus Rapid Transit system and contains numerous schools, markets, and medical facilities.

The neighborhood houses the Municipal Natural Park of Marapendi, which protects local flora and fauna between the beach and residential zones.
