Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro – the city’s name alone conjures up images of pristine beaches, lush forests and thrilling celebrations. Sitting on top of the Corcovado Mountain, Christ the Redeemer watches over the two-faced party capital of Latin America, split between a bustling urban landscape and an outstanding natural environment. Rio is a city like no other, known worldwide for its magnificent New Year firework display on Copacabana beach, its explosive carnival, its joyful people and an exquisite multicultural cuisine.
