Continuing my series on the places I visited during my brief stay in Rio de Janeiro last month, I had the opportunity to visit one of the places I always observed from afar: the Port Zone and the Ferris Wheel.
I’ve driven across the Rio-Niterói Bridge many times and always saw, quite small but still enormous, that Ferris wheel on the other side. I kept wondering about its actual size.

Located in the Porto Maravilha area, also popularly known as the Port Zone, the Yup Star (yes, that's the name of the Ferris wheel) has a super modern structure and looks quite safe. It comprises 54 cabins with a capacity for up to eight people. From up there, you can see Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay, and the Rio-Niterói Bridge.

Well, I'm terrified of heights, and my spending limit had already been exceeded (lol). So, this time at least, I didn't get the chance to enjoy the ride, which costs around R$ 60. But I got very close to it and took some photos that, for my moment there, were already well worth it! It has special lighting and is quite a spectacle.

For those who have the opportunity to enjoy this ride, Yup Star also offers complete infrastructure for visitors, with food kiosks, souvenir shops, and more.

This is another place that should be on your itinerary when visiting Rio de Janeiro. Oh, and you can still take advantage and visit AquaRio. I didn't have the chance to check it out this time. Maybe next time.

Continuando minha série com os locais que eu visitei durante minha rápida passagem pelo Rio de Janeiro no mês passado, tive a oportunidade de ir a um dos lugares que eu sempre ficava observando apenas de longe: a Zona Portuária e a Roda Gigante.
Já passei de carro por várias vezes pela Ponte Rio-Niterói e sempre via, bem pequena - mas ainda enorme - aquela roda gigante do outro lado. Ficava me perguntando a real dimensão dela.
![20240614_191743.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xlety/23swXhgKCntesL8QiyTtrm2HaxjLDMQHmz3LHhebokHhUdXwotaupkb8NU2TE6utnJ6jg.jpg)
Localizada na região do Porto Maravilha, também popularmente conhecido como Zona Portuária, a Yup Star (sim, esse é o nome da roda gigante) tem uma estrutura super moderna e parece bastante segura. Ela é composta por 54 cabines com capacidade para até oito pessoas. Lá de cima é possível observar o Pão de Açúcar, o Cristo Redentor, a Baía de Guanabara e a Ponte Rio-Niterói.

Bom, eu morro de medo de altura e meu limite de gastos já havia passado do limite (rs). Então, dessa vez, pelo menos, eu não tive a oportunidade de contemplar o passeio, que custa em torno de R$ 60. Mas estive bem pertinho dela e fiz alguns registros que, para o meu momento ali, já valeu muito a pena! Ela tem uma iluminação especial e é um verdadeiro espetáculo.
![20240614_184151-01.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/xlety/23uQJQY9oFJgDNSuAAdySCqKjM2dDtmKPeHyVoQvhh1YjAgdU7FnjavuNn9gW2ir4D1Wu.jpeg)
Para quem tiver a oportunidade de ir desfrutar desse passeio, na Yup Star também há uma infraestrutura completa para os visitantes, com quiosques de alimentação, lojas de souvenirs, e etc.

Esse é mais um local que, na sua visita ao Rio de Janeiro, deveria fazer parte do roteiro. Ah, e ainda dá pra aproveitar e ir ao AquaRio. Esse, eu não tive a chance de conhecer dessa vez. Quem sabe na próxima.
