About
About Teresópolis
Some miles from Petrópolis, Teresópolis is named after Dom Pedro II's wife, Empress Teresa Cristina, and also delights in the same agreeable mountain climate. In the distance are the bay of Guanabara and the spectacular surroundings of this town. In this seldom-visited region the history of the emperors has nevertheless left its indelible sacred mark. In 2020, the city was home to 184,000 people.
