Rio de Janeiro, or simply Rio is the second-most populous

municipality in Brazil and the sixth-most populous in the Americas,

besides being the biggest tourist destination international in Brazil,
Latin America and the whole of the Southern Hemisphere.
The Rio is a city filled with contrasts, so diverse in its people,
nature and architecture. Its historic buildings, the modern 19th-
century icons and the recent works signed by internacional
architects combine with this beauty, relief and nature.
That the Rio is a wonderful city, the song said. But it didn’t need to.
Just look at the sides to perceive the reasons for the adjective.
Surrounded by beautiful beaches and very green, the Rio collects
many attractions, and now, we will see some of them (at least my
favourites).
Elected one of the
seven wonders of
the modern world,
the city’s main postal
card. Inside its eight-
meter-high base is a
chapel, where it's
not uncommon to
find weddings and
baptisms taking
place.
Another registered trademark
of the Rio, the hill of Pão de
Açúcar is a mountain that
measures 394 meters tall,
stripped of vegetation in its
almost entirety, among the
districts of Urca, Botafogo and
Copacabana. Its tram, whose
shuttle is already part of the
landscape, become mandatory
passage for visitors, leading
them to the top of the Morro da
Urca and from there to the top
of the Pão de Açúcar. From
here, you can see the entire
mountainous coast that rings
the bay and its islands.
Botanical Garden, houses
more than 8,000 species
of plants. The garden
includes a number of
monuments, fountains
and features, including an
Imperial Palm grove, a
Japanese garden, a
orchard and the new
Museu do Meio Ambiente,
which displays exhibits
that focus on the
environment.
Confeitaria Colombo is a
confectionery shop located in the
city center of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. It is one of the main sights
of the Central Region of the city.
U City Guides has selected
Confeitaria Colombo one of the
10 most beautiful cafes in the
world.
Confeitaria Colombo has also owned a second branch in the Fort of Copacabana
where you can take the delicious colonial coffee and enjoy the sunset.
 Located in front of Copacabana
Beach, the unique décor of Marius
Degustare combines a maritime
theme with antique artifacts from
Brazil's farming past.

I use only the highest quality

ingredients from environmentally
sustainable practices. Organic
foods figure prominently in our
dishes, as they are highly
beneficial for the environment and
the health of our guests.
As an example we can mention
the delicious biffe of place
specially fueled with champagnhe
Marius Degustare appears on
page 827 of Patricia Schultz’s
best-selling book, "1000 Places To
See Before You Die".
Lapa is the place of Carioca
Bohemian. Their arches was built in
the mid 18th century as a way to
supply Rio de Janeiro with fresh
drinking water from the Carioca
River and, nowadays, are one of the
city’s famous postcards, in addition
to their narrow streets and their
houses loaded with stories. the
arches are a popular meeting spot
for locals, especially at night, when
the area comes alive with street
vendors, music and dancing. The
neighborhood boils all week. They
are bars, restaurants, cafes, pubs
and nightclubs for all tastes, ages
and intentions. Lapa is truly
democratic and welcoming.
It would be impossible to mention all
the good that you you can see or do
in Rio, because it is full of
attractions.
I could still talk about several famous
beaches such as Copacabana and
Ipanema, for example; about
Maracanã, one of the world’s most
famous soccer stadiums; in addition
to the Municipal theater, Fort of
Copacabana, Lage Park, Fiscal
Island, Museum of the Tomorrow,
Museum of Modern Art, Museum of
Contemporary Art, Lagoa Rodrigo de
Freitas, Marine Aquarium, Tijuca
Forest, Escadaria do Selarón.
There is also the carnival, Rock in
Rio, the wonderful tours of helicopter
or simply cycling through the cuty,
the delta-wing flights...
Rio is an amazing city with
breathtaking scenery. Come on,
meet, register, do the tours and you
won’t regret it!
