Top Tourist Attractions

Due to the tropical climate, much of life takes place outside, from sipping beer on the beach to sambaing the night away in a corner boteco. ‘Rio’ is noted for the beauty of its beaches, as well as its peaks, ridges, and valleys, which are all partially covered in tropical forests. A popular tourist destination for both Brazilians and foreigners! Enjoy wearing your bathing suits on the streets and along the beaches.

With a pumped-up economy and beefed-up security,  Rio's beguiling combination of lavish nature and exuberant culture, its heady urban frenzy, and its laid-back beachy vibe, not to mention the beauty and warmth of native Cariocas, quickly intoxicates foreigners.

The 709-meter summit of Corcovado, where a massive statue of Christ overlooks the area, is well-known as a sign of Rio.

Few cities have a beautiful sand beach in the heart of their downtown, let alone one that extends four kilometers down one side. Steps away from the beach's golden sands,you'll find charming century-old houses, fine hotels, and famous restaurants and cafés.

Carnaval

Each winter, Rio de Janeiro hosts one of the world's most popular pre-Lenten celebrations, comparable to those in Venice and New Orleans. The festivities begin shortly after New Year's Day, but the splendor and extravagance reaches a spectacular peak in the four days leading up to Ash Wednesday, drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators to street parades, samba parties, and displays.
