Rio De Janeiro is probably most famous for its statue of Christ which stands 30m tall on Mount Corcovado towering over the city. You might also think of Samba, football, bikinis and the most famous carnival in the world. Rio is a diverse and wonderful place.
Equally famous are its beaches Ipanema and Copacabana which are a constant hub of life, there's no shortage of beautiful people on these beaches.
Another sight not to be missed, especially at night is Sugar Loaf Mountain which you can get to by cable car.
This unique city boasts vast coastlines, incredible mountains, endless museums, cafes and theatres all buzzing with life and culture just waiting to be explored. It doesn't sleep either with its world famous samba and potent cocktails.
Rio De Janeiro is often described as the most beautiful city in the world created by God and watched over by Christ Himself.
