Rio de Janeiro Brazil is commonly known as Rio, and is the second largest city in Brazil. This amazing city is the most visited in the southern hemisphere. Rio is well known for its outstanding partying, vibrant culture, and breath taking natural beauty. After reading more about Rio, you'll find out why it's called "A Cidade Maravilhosa" (the Marvelous City).Check out these 5 Fantastic Reasons Why You Should Visit.
The Rio de Janeiro Christ the Redeemer Statue - Cristo Redentor (as it's called in Portuguese) attracts visitors from all over the world; and has become an iconic figure in Rio. This amazing 130ft tall concrete and soapstone figure is breath taking, and considered the second largest art deco figure in the world. In 2007 this incredible statue was named as one of the new 7 wonders of the world, and is clearly visible from every area in the city.
Sugarloaf Mountain - Another fantastic place to visit when in Rio is Sugarloaf Mountain; this peak overlooks Guanabara Bay, and is reached by two cable cars. During the ride up the mountain you will be subjected to an amazing 360 degree view of the city. For the more adventurous rock climbing is possible, however you do need to be experienced to attempt it.
Rio de Janeiro Carnival - (or Carnaval, which is the correct way to spell but does it really matter?) The carnival is a huge event in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, and one event not to miss if you are in the city. The four day celebration has the whole city involved, and is a vibrant and exciting display of how the Brazilians love to party. The celebrations are to signify the period before Lent where traditionally Roman Catholics were allowed merriment before this period. The dates do change every year for the annual carnival, so ensure that you are aware of the current dates if you want to join in.
