Rio de Janeiro
Marvelous City
Rio is famous for its sun, sand and surf and the beautiful people who enjoy them. It is the only place on Earth where you can see TWO Wonders of the World. The Harbor of Rio de Janeiro is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and Christ the Redeemer statue is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
In a recent survey, it was also scientifically determined that Rio has the bluest skies on the planet and it is the home to the largest, urban forest in the world. Rio hosted the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Barra da Tijuca is home to many of the Olympic venues and is also an ideal place for kitesurfing. Another upscale beach is Ipanema, a popular spot for people who want to see and be seen. If you want a beach that offers a quiet sanctuary away from the crowds, head to Prainha. The surrounding area is a protected nature reserve and is the perfect place to explore Rio’s natural beauties.
