The eyes of the world will be on Rio de Janeiro in August, as the Olympic Games will take place in this exuberant Brazilian city.
Even the name Rio de Janeiro makes me want to start Samba dancing in a sparkly bikini and a feathered headdress.
Rio is home to the famous carnival that takes place every year and the entire city is turned into one gigantic, flamboyant party.
The carnival atmosphere lives on year round, so let your spirit Latino take over and embrace the rhythms of Rio.
Christ the Redeemer
Every year, literally thousands of visitors flock to pay homage to the famous statue of Jesus that stands atop the Corcovado Mountain. This majestic statue of Christ welcomes visitors with open arms whilst keeping watch over the entire city.
Copacabana Beach
Enjoy a sun drenched day sipping a Caipirinha on one of the world’s most famous beaches, hanging out with the vibrant and colourful locals. Remember music and passion are always in fashion!
Sugarloaf Mountain
A trip up the famous Sugarloaf Mountain is the perfect spot to enjoy breath-taking views across Rio de Janeiro. More than a million tourists visit Sugarloaf Mountain every year.
Ipanema Beach
Made famous by the song, “The Girl from Ipanema,”, this beach is the place to see and be seen. Hang out with the beautiful people in this classy spot maybe play a game of volleyball on the golden sands with the locals.
Botanical Garden
The Rio de Janerio Jardim Botanico is an idyllic and serene oasis among the hustle and bustle of the city where you can admire the beauty of both Amazonian and imported plants.
Samba!
No visit to Rio de Janeiro would be complete without some dancing. Take in the Plataforma Samba Show to spectate or take to the floor yourself in one of the many clubs around the city. There are also plenty of dance studios offering classes that will teach you the basic steps. A lot of fun, even if you have two left feet!
