Vacation Hub International - Destination Review

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City) honors its moniker by welcoming visitors with its scenic vistas and lively festivals. The extravagant Carnival celebration held each February or March includes days of masquerade balls, parades and parties. Those looking for a well-rounded trip to Rio should check out the towering Christ the Redeemer statue, explore the 340-acre Jardim Botânico, and spend some time lazing on Ipanema or Copacabana beach.
