As the Brazilians say, ‘God made the world in six days, the seventh he devoted to Rio.’
Rio is undoubtedly one of the most iconic cities on the planet. Nestled between jagged mountains, rainforests and azure ocean, Rio de Janeiro is unsurpassed for its natural beauty. Its magnificent shoreline boasts Sugar Loaf Mountain and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, while the mountains above Rio play host to the world-famous statue of Christ the Redeemer – one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and the largest urban rainforest in the world, Tijuca National Forest.
The city’s eight million inhabitants, known as “Cariocas”, are friendly and carefree with a strong focus on finding the time for the pleasures of good living. This attitude means that the city never sleeps, but remains alive with the buzz of activity. This is reflected in the exuberant New Year celebrations and also in Rio’s famous Carnival, when, for one week, the city’s residents stop everything to dance and sing to rhythmic Samba music… and to party!
For those looking for a short break, Rio is the perfect destination with direct flights from London Heathrow with British Airways. Combine with the coastal resort of Buzios, a drive north of the city or the lush tropical Green Coast, a drive to the south, where travellers will find the colonial gem, Paraty.
