Rio de Janeiro

Welcome to the Cidade Maravilhosa – the “Marvellous City” that is Rio de Janeiro! Set to a backdrop of the famous Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountains overlooking the breathtaking beaches, Rio is well renowned for its spectacular natural setting. Spend your days chilling out with the exuberant Cariocas locals on Copacabana or Ipanema beach, before spending your nights dancing to the syncopated beats of the samba or choro in the Lapa district.

Marvel at the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer which peers over the bustling 150 districts of Rio. To get a closer look, catch the miniature train up Corcovado Mountain from the Cosme Vehlo district through the Atlantic rainforest, arriving at the foot of the 700 tonne 39.6 metre high wonder, surrounded by the enchanting Tijuca Forest.

Maybe you’d prefer a scenic cable car ride up the Sugarloaf Mountains or a picturesque stroll through Rio’s Botanical Gardens. Before you leave, be sure to dabble in Rio’s collection of historic monuments such as the National History Museum, Municipal Theatre, the Itamaraty Palace and the National Museum of Fine Art, before settling down to a filling meal of delicious feijoada, Brazil’s national dish.
