About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is full of life. From the statue of Christ perched atop Corcovado mountain or the Sugarloaf cable car, or dancing to samba, it might be said this is also a city that rarely sleeps.

Popular excursions include a visit world-famous beaches such as Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon, while football fans will be loath to miss the Maracana Stadium, which holds a special place in many Brazilian hearts.
