Rio de Janiero, Brazil

Rio de Janiero Brazil Christ the Redeemer



Rio de Janeiro was discovered January 1, 1502 by the Portuguese, hence the name River of January. Rio with over 10,000,000 inhabitants it the second largest city in Brazil. While the folks in Sao Paulo labor all day Rio's inhabitants work and play all day and night. Often taking 3 hour lunches to go to the beach. And the beaches, open to all, are there with Ipanema, Copa Cabana, and countless others. Its unique landscape (mountains on one side ocean on the other) make it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Indeed it can be called Brazil's emotional capital as well. Nothing expresses this like the annual Carnival that goes on for three days. Starting in late February or early March, just prior to the beginning of the Christian season of Lent, is world renown for its festivities. A note of caution for the tourist, Carnival can get a little wild. Of course what could one expect in an atmosphere with music, dancing and folks that are at best half dressed? It has a wonderful climate, a blend of summer and springtime. Temperatures during December to March can top 95° F, but during the rest of the year are a comfortable 68° F to 86° F. Sea breezes moderate temperatures throughout the year. Transportation is readily available, with inexpensive taxis everywhere and a subway system. It is linked to all key points in Brazil by an extensive highway system. It has 2 airports: Santos Dumont Airport, a downtown airport for local flights between Rio and Sao Paulo, and Galeao Airport, the international airport located on Governor's Island in Guanabara Bay. There is lots to see and do. The city's most famous landmarks are Sugar Loaf rising to 1,325 ft, located on a peninsula jutting into Guanabara Bay, and the Christ the Redeemer statue, which overlooks the city from the top of Corcovado Mountain. For lover of night life there are thousands of restaurants, bars and nightclubs for any taste. For the cultured there are fine museums, historical buildings and operas. Like any big city a tourist should use common sense for safety. Don't wear expensive jewelry, don't carry a lot of cash and don't stray far from the beaten path. If a neighborhood looks dangerous, it probably is.
