Rio de Janeiro Vacations

Rio De Janeiro is in Brazil and is perhaps best known for its famous beaches – Copacabana and Ipanema. A giant statue of Jesus dominates the city (Cristo Redentor), and is reachable by tram. There is a cable car up Sugar Loaf Mountain. Carnaval begins at the start of Lent and is a fantastic experience. There are also massive new year celebrations in the city. Flights are available with Delta Airlines from Atlanta and with American Airlines from Miami. www.riodejaneiro-turismo.com.br/en

Mention Rio to anyone and immediately the name evokes images of sultry street parades, the Sugarloaf Mountain, Corcovado Christ statue, and the 'itsy-bitsy teeny weeny' bikinis on the beach at Ipanema. The exuberant cultural capital of Brazil is tucked between the mountains and the sea and is endowed with a natural beauty that ranges from the beaches to the mountain peaks. It also contains the biggest urban forest in the world, the Tijuca Forest, that was completely replanted during the second half of the 19th century.

Rio's Botanical Gardens were created in 1808 by the Prince Regent of Portugal as a temporary site for acclimatising imported plants.
