Rio de Janeiro

Golden beaches, immense mountains and a vibrant nightlife: Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's most famous city. Many people refer to Rio de Janeiro as Rio when they talk about this city. It is one of the most vibrant and versatile cities in South America. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, white sandy beaches, impressive national parks and clear blue water. If there is a city in South America that has a beautiful location, it is Rio de Janeiro.

Until 1960 Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil. The city is best known for the busy beaches of samba and bossa novas. The Copacabana and the Ipanema are the best-known examples of this.

No trip here is truly complete without a visit to this landmark. Christ The Redeemer statue is the largest Art Deco statue in the world, which is remarkable in itself. But what's really impressive is the fact that it sits atop the 710-foot-high Corcovado Mountain.

Experience this beautiful city as you've never seen before! Stunning architecture and glittering waters. Let the charm of Rio bedazzle you.
