Trapped between the Tijuca rainforest and the Guanabara bay, Rio de Janeiro is considered the pearl of South América. Filled with exotic vegetation, tropical beaches and stunnig views, Rio is more than just a famous postcard, is a culturally rich and eclectic city able to satisty the most demanding taste.

A hike to Christ Redeemer, a sunset view from the Sugar Loaf, a jog around Lagõa, a swim at Ipanema Beach, a day surfing at Prainha, an exibition at Centro Cultural Banco do Brazil, a walk trought the Botanical gardens, a samba at Mangueira, a Friday night in Lapa, a beer at Baixo Gávea, the options are endless.

A visit to the old bohemian neighorood of Santa Teresa is a must when in Rio, preferebly by bonde, the old tram line built at the start of the last century and recentely restored to keep up with the increase of the population living in the área.

The nearby Lapa works as a magnete for artists and musician, playing every night in the numerous samba bars scattered around the old roman style acquedot.
Posto nine, in Ipanema beach, is where the carioca feels more at ease, catching waves and drinking coconut water. Looking beautiful is the national sport and Rio is the perfect landscape to see and be seen
