Lonely Planet review

Campo de Santana is a pleasant park that, on 7 September 1822, was the scene of the proclamation of Brazil's independence from Portugal by Emperor Dom Pedro I of Portugal. The landscaped park with an artificial lake and swans is a fine place for a respite from the chaotic streets, and you're liable to see a few agoutis (a hamster-like rodent native to Brazil) running wild here.
