SALTY!
Rio de Janeiro is known for its breathtaking and stunning landscapes as well as its excellent and popular beaches. It is Brazil’s second largest city, the inhabitants of which are known as Cariocas. It has a laid back beach culture which can be experienced at Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and Sao Conrado, all well known beaches. But beaches are not all that Rio has to offer. The most amazing sights can be seen from the top of the large hill known as Corcovado, dominated by the statue of Christ the Redeemer and provides spectacular panoramic views. Sugarloaf Mountain, closer to the city, also provides beautiful views of the landscape; the view at sunset being exceptional. There are many other aspects to get excited about here on Brazil tours. One is the annual Carnival where the Cariocas display not only their enthusiasm for life but also their colourful costumes and rhythmic music.
