Rio de Janeiro is the marvellous city (this is the city's pet
name and it clearly
describes the nature of the city). The literal meaning of the city's
name is the January river. It's a magnificent city surrounded by three
mountains and Guanabara Bay.
Rio de Janeiro is a great city world-known for exciting
carnivals and festivals
in
South America, fiery music and dances, top-class hotels,
white sand beaches, and gripping white-and-black inlaid embankments,
four km long Copacabana, rich Leblon,
etc.
Travel South America to climb the Sugarloaf Mount, isn't it a
great name for a high peak? You can do some climbing here, the activity
can be recommended only for professionals as the slopes are rather
steep.
Have you ever heard of Sambadrome? It's the best place
in South America
to dance samba and annually here the samba carnival takes place
attracting thousands of people from all the corners of the globe. This
carnival is world broadcasted and watched by millions of people. Travel
South America to plunge into the world of all-penetrating music
and merry samba. By the
way the samba carnival, the Jesus statue and football are believed to
be city's features.
But Brazil welcomes not only dances, climbers, divers, but as well best
football-players from all over the world, and it's no wonder that it's
Rio de Janeiro where the hugest stadium is located. Because football is
the most popular game in the country and there is hardly a boy in the
whole country who hasn't dreamt of playing like Ronaldinho or Ronaldo.
Travel South
America to see the statue of Christ the Redeemer with your
own eyes, that is the renowned symbol of the city. When your plane is
landing in the airport of Rio de Janeiro and you are looking at the
statue it seems as if welcoming you. In case you plan to
visit the statue of Christ the Redeemer, you can pray at
the oratory that's below the statue designed by Heitor da
Silva Costa and Paul Landowski. From the Cornovado mountain top one can
catch an overwhelming bird's-eye-view on the city and its
picturesque bays. Travel South America and Rio de
Janeiro to become inspired by a gourgeous and delightful air of the
continent!
