Rio de Janeiro: The Marvelous City

More about visiting Rio de Janeiro

Known globally as the "Cidade Maravilhosa," Rio de Janeiro is a brazilian destination that stays in your heart forever. It is a city defined by its dramatic geography—where emerald-green mountains plunge directly into the Atlantic Ocean. Home to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Rio offers an intoxicating mix of history, nature, and a legendary lifestyle.

No visit is complete without standing at the feet of Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain or taking the cable car up to Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar) for a sunset view that is arguably the most beautiful in the world. For beach lovers, the distinct vibes of Copacabana, Ipanema, and the trendier Leblon offer endless opportunities for sunbathing, surfing, and people-watching while sipping a cold caipirinha.

Beyond the coast, delve into the soul of Rio in the bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa, with its cobblestone streets and art studios, or witness the historic grandeur of the Lapa Arches. If you are looking for greenery, the Tijuca National Park, the world’s largest urban forest, and the serene Botanical Garden provide a peaceful escape from the city's high-energy rhythm.
