Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
From
its colorful festivals to its melting pot of cultures and ethnicities, Rio de
Janeiro is one of the well-known cities in Brazil and a must see for tourists.
With the outgoing residents of Rio de Janeiro, every tourist will be able to
unwind and have a truly fun time in the city. Along with its people, Rio de
Janeiro has countless places to visit. One of the top places to see in Rio de
Janeiro is the statue of Cristo Redentor, or Christ the Redeemer, that overlooks
the city. To get a better view of the statue, travel by cable car up to
Sugarloaf Mountain and view the deep blue ocean water below. Travelers can also
find exotic wildlife on the mountain by following trails. Sugarloaf Mountain
isn’t the only area in Rio de Janeiro that has wildlife for tourists to see –
at Tijuca National Park, known as the largest urban forest in the world,
visitors can find a miniature version of the Amazon rainforest here. With the
lush greenery and natural inhabitants, the Tijuca National Park is known for
its Atlantic Forest, which makes for a fun tour of exotic plants and animals
Brazil has to offer.
Not
only is Brazil known for its landscapes and monuments, but also for its
beaches. In Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana and Ipanema are the most populated
beaches in the city. With vendors who bring food, drinks, and even clothing to
beach visitors on these beaches, Rio de Janeiro knows how to pamper its beach
guests.
Before
traveling to South America, consider what environment you want to be in and
what you want to explore or learn about. Be sure to plan ahead to ensure you
have the best time in South America.
