Suggested
itineraries in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro
The sheer size of Brazil means a 15-20 day trip
is recommended but for those looking for a short
itinerary, we reccomend visit only Rio de Janeiro
in your first visit.
Start in Copacabana Beach.
Copacabana beach is at the centre of this and
locals make full use of its riches. The beach is
a place to relax, the place to play football or
beach volleyball, to walk, to sunbathe, to see
and to be seen - it is the beating heart
of Rio.
Then head to to either Corcovado
(the Statue of Christ The Redeemer) .This is one
of the main spot in the city standing 710 metres
high and giving a sweeping panorama of sea and
mountain, a world famous vista.Next, visit the Sugar
Loaf Mountain.
The hill 396m above Rio is a must-see. There are
two cable cars bringing you to the top.

:
The garden covers 137 hectares. The neo-classical
gateway datesback to the last century, with XVIII
century bronze statues scattered along its paths
and lawns.

Stadium.
Brazilian culture and the stadium reflects the
importance it holds for the Brazilian people,
being one of the largest and most historically
important in the world.
