Duas Barras, Municipality in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Duas Barras is a municipality in Rio de Janeiro state located in southeastern Brazil's mountainous interior region. The town operates as an administrative center serving its population through essential public services and regional connections.

The municipality was established in 1891 as an independent administrative entity within Rio de Janeiro state. This founding allowed the mountainous region to develop as a separate community with its own governance.

The main square showcases colorful houses that reflect the local identity, where residents gather during festivals and celebrations. This gathering place reveals how the community maintains its bonds and keeps traditions alive.

The town connects to nearby areas through regional transportation routes and provides basic services for visitors and residents. When visiting, be prepared for mountain terrain conditions and local infrastructure typical of rural settlements.
