Rio De Janeiro
Brazil In General
Brazil is one of the most
beautiful countries I have never visit. Is so
big
that shares a border with almost every other country in South
America.
It is the fifth largest
country in the world and the
biggest country in South America.
Brazil is the only Latin American nation that derives
its language and culture from Portugal.
The Portuguese were the first European
settlers to arrive in the area, led by the
adventurous Pedro Cabral. The immigrant Portuguese
language was greatly influenced by the numerous local Indian and
African slaves dialects, but it remains the dominant language in
Brazil today.
Rio De Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most spectacular
and most famous cities
in Brazil.
Known to Brazilians as "Cidade
Maravilhosa" that means (The Wonderful
City). is the
second largest city in Brazil and is
famous for its breathtaking landscape. Rio
is indisputably a city with all the
attendant traffic and bustle,
but many
tourist falling in love with
Rio De Janeiro, they fascinated with the culture and way of life.

Rio
De Janeiro Accommodation
You can find hotels in Rio de Janeiro
in almost every corner. From
Copacabana Beach
to Ipanema beach and Lapa. If you are looking for cheap
accommodation one of the best ways is to rent an apartment. There is
many apartments on Copacabana
Beach
and Ipanema that cost around 100 to 150
reais monthly. Normally if you take a local taxi
driver he will take you to many of them, but you have always to make
a bargain on his commission.
Santa Teresa
The
easier way to visit Santa Teresa is by taxi. Otherwise
you have to change buses and walk
a lot. Santa Teresa is one of the places that you
have to visit if you are person that loves
arts.
Located on a
hill behind Lapa,
close to the city center.
Is
probably the most bohemian of all the neighbourhoods of Rio de
Janeiro.
You can walk along
the old houses and
watch artists at their work. The
neighborhood was named after the Santa
Teresa Church and Convent.

Corcovado
- Cristo Redentor
Cristo Redentor is the ethnic
symbol of Brazil.
From anywhere in Rio, you can see Christ the Redeemer
looking at you from the mountain top of Corcovado.
The
statue represents Jesus standing with outstretched, welcoming arms.
The
best way to going there is by the
Corcovado train. Funicular
trains depart every half-hour, daily 8:30 am-6:30 pm.
The Corcovado Railway was the first eletricfied
Brazilian railroad. Opened
in October 9th, in 1884
by the
Emperor D. Pedro II,
it’s even older than the monument of Christ
rendentor its self.
The train crosses the largest urban forest in
the world: the National Park of Tijuca.
When you reach the top
you can enjoy one of the best views of Rio De Janeiro.

famous giant statue
of Christ stands 38 meters high,
covered in a mosaic of soapstone and
weighs 635 tonnes.

you understand why Tom Jobim
and Vinícius
make one of the most famous songs back in 60s, called "The
Girl from Ipanema."
Praia De Ipanema
is where the summer happens in Rio
and is
beautiful as it looks in the post carts.

market was much bigger and better
than we had expected, clothing, leather shoes,

artwork are all available in abundance. Prices
were very reasonable, and all merchants were willing to give you a
bargain.
