For international travels to Brazil, if only one of the parents is travelling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In the event that the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before travelling for more information. ## About the area Araras, a neighbourhood in Petrópolis, is home to this holiday home. Itapaiva Castle and Ponte Leopoldo Teixeira Leite are local landmarks, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Shopping Vilarejo Itaipava and Itaipava Market.
