THE CITY
RIO DE JANEIRO
Rio de Janeiro is one of the main tourist sites in Latin America. Its incomparable natural beauty, its history and the joy of its inhabitants contribute to create a very special image that reaches its highest point at the New Years Eve and Carnival.
The tourist who is looking for a place that also offers the sophisticated infra-structure of a modern city will find everything he/she wishes in Rio. The city is located between a tropical forest and the sea, so it offers a unique variety of products.
Rio is a city of contrasts: the colonial architecture reminds us of the past, while the eye-catching modern buildings give us a glimpse of the future. Two of our postcards are known in all the world: The Sugar Loaf and the statue of Christ with its open arms.
As a tourist destination, Rio does not depend on the seasons once the weather is very pleasant throughout the year.
Visitors soon find out a known fact for the city's inhabitants: something is always happening in Rio - exhibitions, dancing shows, musical concerts, sports events and much more.
