Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
City introduction
Christ the Redeemer above beaches, samba and granite peaks. Rio's setting is unmatched — Sugarloaf and Corcovado rising from Atlantic forest between Guanabara Bay and the open sea. Copacabana and Ipanema for beach days, Santa Teresa's tram lanes and Lapa's arches for nights, samba in its birthplace, and Tijuca forest — the world's largest urban rainforest — over everything.
