Rio Comprido, Residential neighborhood in northern Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Rio Comprido extends through an urban valley with a central river channel that flows toward Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro.

The area transformed from sugar plantations in the 17th century to coffee farms during the 19th century before becoming an urban settlement.

The neighborhood holds strong influences from early English settlers who established their presence, leading to its former name Chácara dos Ingleses.

The Paulo de Frontin viaduct connects Rio Comprido to the southern zone of Rio de Janeiro through the Rebouças tunnel system.

The neighborhood contains multiple surrounding communities including Turano, Fogueteiro, Querosene, Fallet, Coroa, São Carlos, and Mineira districts.
