WHY RIO DE JANEIRO IS WORTH THE VISIT
This thriving metropolis, set against the tropical backdrop of Brazil’s beautiful and lush rainforest, hosts world-famous sight-seeing attractions that are sure to keep visitors fascinated. With vast and varied museums, gorgeous squares and parks, first-class beaches and Brazilian icons such as the Christ Redeemer statue on Corcovado Hill, travelers flock to this lively city to soak up all it has to offer.
Simply splendid views can be had atop the Sugarloaf Mountain, reached by cable car. From the 396 meters (1,299 ft) peak visitors can marvel at Rio, as well as the tropical vegetation that surrounds the hilltop, such as rare orchid species. This makes it not only an attractive site to tourists but also for ecologists.
Travelers to Rio are sure to take a dip in the crystalline shores of Ipanema Beach, immortalized in the 1960’s bossa-nova song, “The Girl from Ipanema”. If you stick around after dark, this sophisticated neighborhood will show you some of the liveliest nightlife in all of Rio. Likewise, the coastal stretch known as Copacabana also hosts many modernized kiosks offering Brazilian drinks and delicacies, open-air restaurants and bars – understandably making it a posh party destination.
Complimenting the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle is the National Tijuca Forest Park; the world’s largest urban forest replanted by man and covers an immense 19.88 mi (32 km). The protected natural wonder is home to hundreds of species of plants and wildlife, many of which are threatened by extinction and found only in the Atlantic Rainforest.
DONT JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
We wanted to thank you for all your help in planning our amazing vacation to Rio and Argentina. All the bumps that came up along the way were handled smoothly by you and your team. Thank you for making sure our trip was fun and relaxing!! We had the best time exploring that part of the world and seeing amazing sites! The arrangements you made for us in Rio to see shows and to see the sites were also fantastic.

Firstly, I received good advising from the beginning. Then I was really looked after upon arrival and right up until departure. I really enjoyed the Corcovado, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and the "chicas bonitas". It really lives up to its reputation of being a lively, flamboyant, colorful and exciting cosmopolitan set in one of the world's most naturally beautiful locations. Obrigado Rio!

The representative in Rio de Janeiro succinctly gave us specific do's and don'ts and we were completely safe during all of our free time as we freely walked, eat (never got sick) and shopped all over both day and night as the fashions in Rio are trend setting.

THE RIO DE JANEIRO ADVENTURE
Locals call it the “Marvelous City” and once you visit Rio de Janeiro, you’ll be sure to do the same. Nestled within the tropical cliffs of the southeastern coast of Brazil, this cosmopolitan ex-capital is the second largest city in Brazil and is well-known for its annual Carnival celebrations, sexy samba music and hotel-lined beaches such as the gorgeous Copacabana stretch.
The capital of the Portuguese Empire during the 1800’s, today, this vivid and extremely dense city never sleeps, with restaurants, night clubs and bars open at all hours to keep up with the lively nightlife. Day time in “Rio” as locals like to call it is just as varied with excellent art galleries and museums showcasing contemporary and ancient Brazilian and international art in this city that considers itself the cultural center of the country.
Standing atop the Corcovado hill that overlooks the entire city of Rio is the iconic Christ of Corcovado: an immense concrete statue of Christ whose arms are spread wide as seemingly embracing this deeply-Catholic country. From here, tourists can see all the natural beauty (Tijuca National Park), the luxury and modernity (first-rate hotels on Ipanema beach) and the gritty reality (the shantytowns or “favelas”) of this thriving metropolis that represents a historically-rich and culturally-diverse society gaining it’s ground as a leader in a rapidly globalizing world.
Accompanying you on this trip of a lifetime, Brazil For Less offers the very best in guided tours, excursions and hotel accommodations, suited for all travel requirements and catering for every budget.
An exciting visit to this gorgeous city that never sleeps is made effortless with Argentina For Less. We are proud to offer everything you need to build magical memories that will last forever.
