Rio de Janeiro

Carnival is the first image that most people conjure up when the name of Rio de Janeiro is mentioned. For a few days, each February, the city lights up with fireworks. A hypnotic samba beat can be heard and the streets will up with stunning dancers, arrayed in feathers, glitter and often little else. This is the colorful chaos of Carnival (known also as “Carnaval”), a high-octane celebration of the body beautiful.

The heady experience of Rio de Janeiro in February can rightly earn the city the title, Capital of Fun. Locally, the city is known as Cidade Maravilhosa or the Marvelous City. Even when Carnival is not in full sway, Brazilians know how to party and do so in style.

Rio de Janeiro is home to two of the world's most memorable beaches, both of which have been immortalized in song. Copacabana is arguably the more famous of the two, but the hit song Girl from Ipanema earned Ipanema a permanent place in popular culture. You may be excused for spending the bulk of your holiday on the beach - after all, Rio has over twenty beaches to choose from.
