For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information. ## About the area Araras, a neighborhood in Petrópolis, is home to this vacation home. Itapaiva Castle and Ponte Leopoldo Teixeira Leite are local landmarks, and travelers looking to shop may want to visit Shopping Vilarejo Itaipava and Itaipava Market. Fazenda Vira Mundo and Brejal Garden are also worth visiting.
