Rio de Janeiro has it all; renowned sun-kissed beaches, lush mountains, rich architectural heritage, frenetic samba rhythm and a fabulous food scene.
Home to the world’s most famous carnival, Rio is dominated by the statue of Christ the Redeemer on top of Corcovado mountain.
Take the cable car up Sugar Loaf Mountain and enjoy the stunning views over Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.
Friendly Cariocas (inhabitants of Rio) love to spend time on the beach playing football, volleyball, relaxing or just gathering with friends. People-watching in Rio can be both addictive and eye-opening!
A holiday to Rio can easily be combined with a trip to the Amazon or with an idyllic beach stay on the nearby Fernando de Noronha’s Archipelago.
