Location

Few cities stir the imagination or can be claimed as dream destinations to the extent of Rio. Tucked between miles of beautiful sandy beaches and dramatic jungle covered mountains, Rio is in the heart of the most beautiful natural setting in the world - an ideal destination on a year round basis and truly fulfills its title of "A Cidade Maravilhosa"- The Marvelous City!

Rio is a booming city of 8 million inhabitants with a resort like atmosphere, visited annually by thousands of sun and fun seeking tourists. It has world famous attractions, such as the statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooking the city and Sugar Loaf with its cable car ride to the top of this granite peak guarding the entrance to Guanabara Bay. A choice of luxury hotels that appeal to every taste and budget, swinging night life, outstanding restaurants, folklore, history, concerts, parks, art galleries, museums, floor shows, and fun that can hold its own with the best anywhere. And rhythm, unique to Brazil and exotic in its forms, pervades the lifestyles of the "cariocas" to the beat of the bossa nova and the samba, exuberant and uninhibited.

A city of blended cultures, colorful sidewalk cafes, tree-lined avenues and high energy. A city where the tanga clad girls of Ipanema and business suits walk side-by-side in the streets.

Rio is exotic like nowhere else in the world, for only Rio is Rio!
