Rio de Janeiro, unique and delightful, is the most visited destination of Brazil. For its location which is privileged, surrounded by mountains that form a natural setting, a tropical glade and the ocean, it deserves the title of “Cidade Maravilhosa” (Wonderful City).
The cariocas (name given to those born in this city), are happy and friendly people. Most relevant tourist attractions are: Christ the redeemer and the Sugar Loaf. Though there are other sites that equally worth a visit: Floresta da Tijuca (the biggest urban glade in the World), Lapa archs, the historical epicentre and the beautiful beaches.
Rio de Janeiro has a wide offer of hotels and tourist services, as it has been receiving lots of visitors for many decades. Its beaches, restaurants, shopping malls and other attractions satisfy the most demanding traveller and guarantee an unforgettable experience.
