Copacabana, Ipanema, Carnival, Christ the Redeemer, Rio has gone around the world in a few words. From the top of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, which has always symbolised Rio, the panoramic view is breathtaking. On the endless beaches, tourists and vendors of all sorts throng in their thousands. Wherever you find yourself, the famous statue is inevitably part of the landscape. For a change of scenery, the surroundings of Rio offer an impressive choice of alternatives which are 100% natural. Whether it be islands, forests or mountains, Brazil is a country of diversity. The days, which are too short, extend late into the night. Join in with the colourful crowd or the welcoming Cariocas, the inhabitants of Rio, in the restaurants, bars and nightclubs of the city!
