The best and most unique Rio de Janeiro travel guide
Rio de Janeiro is rightfully named by the locals “Cidade Marvilhosa”, which translates to “The Marvelous City”. The staggering numbers of tourists that visit it every year, making it into the most visited city in South America, immediately get hooked on the breathtaking beauty and the contagious good-humored and energetic atmosphere. Rio is so much more than just beaches and it’s definitely not just a resort. It’s a city harboring some of the most delightful gems and sights the planet has to offer and its particular culture is something worth exploring.
This guide is meant to introduce you to its wonderful ways and provide you with the necessary knowledge and information to make the most out of your trip. The postcard perfect beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana have long inspired our artists, which is what you’ll discover in the first chapter “Greetings from the Girl of Ipanema”. You most definitely heard this suave Bossa Nova song, as it is the most covered song of all times. What you probably didn’t know is that the Girl of Ipanema is a full-fleshed woman, who mesmerized our most prominent Bossa Nova musicians, Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes.
The city’s many wonders and characteristics are described in the following chapter, “The Wonders of Cidade Maravilhosa”! You probably heard of the city of Rio de Janeiro hundreds of times already, maybe from that aunt who wanted to go on a fancy trip, or maybe from your cousin who saved up until last summer to be able to visit the city at least once. We guarantee that your Rio de Janeiro experience will be unique and unforgettable.
