Rio de Janeiro is renowned for its panoramic natural backdrop, its soccer, its rich vivid history, the martial Dance of War called Capoeira, Carnival celebrations, samba, hotel-fringed tourist beaches like the Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon, and the black and cream tiled embellished promenade.

Apart from the gorgeous beaches, the giant statue Jesus, famed as Christ the Redeemer, atop Corcovado Mountain is also the cause of attracting millions of visitors. Rio also proudly boasts for possessing the world’s largest forest within an urban area named as the “Tijuca Forest”.

If you are looking for some fun and frolic then play the popular beach tennis called as the “Fresco Ball” or Matkot. Rio de Janeiro is also a rock-climber’s paradise with numerous routes ranging from boulders to high technical big wall climbs, all within the city. If you are in a mood for fishing then catch a plethora of the famous Brazilian copper fish which are in abundance in the river and makes fishing a popular activity in Brazil.

The contrasting city of Rio with its remnant colonial architectures and stunning contemporary buildings provides you a wide array of accommodations for a luxurious memorable stay.

InterContinental Rio, Sofitel Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana Palace Hotel and Golden Tulip Ipanema Plaza are some of the premium hotels that offer world-class facilities to pamper you the most.
