Another place to visit for Niemeyer fans. Set over a large concrete site, this is a modernist architectural tribute to the concept of Latin American unity, from Simón Bolívar to the present day. There's a concert hall, gallery, murals, library, conference centre and a spectacular concrete hand protuding out of the ground with Latin America running red from the palm into the ground.
Av. Auro Soares de Moura Andrade, 664 Barra Funda
