Parque Guanabara Admission Ticket
Visit: Parque GuanabaraStill in the mid-1940s, young mechanic Paulo Pereira Dias began his long walk in the world of amusement parks, in the suburb of Rio de Janeiro, capital of the former state of Guanabara, working in a large park at the time. Self-taught, in a short time the talent for creation and construction of amusement equipment emerged in the young entrepreneur, and in the next decade he was recognized nationally for the quality and beauty of his toys. His entrepreneurial spirit and pioneer led him to found, in 1951, the Guanabara Center for Fun, a name that honors the land where it all began. Like most parks of its time, the Guanabara was itinerant, and was in almost all the cities of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, carrying their lights and their joy.
