Not far from the cafe, first you hear swooshing sounds. Look up and you can see small monkeys swinging from tree to tree.

Among other benefits, the city gained a Gunpowder Factory, built in the old Sugar Mill Sugar Cane Rodrigo de Freitas.

Delighted with the exuberant nature of the place, then D. John installed the Garden, which on October 11 of that year, passed the Royal Garden.
