Top Ten Sights in Rio
* The beach is a daily event in Rio with a steady flow of people from sunrise to sunset - a place to relax, to meet and chat, to work out and catch the big wave. Amongst the endless miles of superb beaches, Copacabana and Ipanema are the most famous. * The vast statue of Christ the Redeemer towering over the city, arms outstretched in welcome, astride the Corcovado, is the most famous of images of Brazil. From the summit you can see the city flowing around the mountains along the coast, an exhilarating experience with the whole of Rio and Guanabara Bay laid out before you. * Reached by cable car for another spectacular view of the city, Sugar Loaf Mountain rises where Guanabara Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. Best of all at sunset on a clear day when the lights of the city start to twinkle. * A walk through the Tijuca Forest which covers an area of approximately 120 square kilometres. There is no other city in the world that can boast a downtown rainforest, home to ocelots, three toed sloths and a paradise for bird watchers. * A visit to one of the samba dance halls is an excellent way to spend a Saturday night when rehearsals are held. * The Botanical Garden is half natural jungle and half laid out in impressive avenues with immense Imperial Palms dating from the garden's inauguration in 1808. It now contains over 5,000 plant species, not to mention numerous monkeys and parrots. * Built in 1950 for the World Cup, Rio's Maracana Stadium, the world's largest, holds nearly 200,000 people. Great silken banners wave across the stand, shrouded by smoke from fireworks, while support for each team is proclaimed by the insistent rhythm of massed samba drums. * The Hippie Market in Ipanema is held every Sunday at the Praca General Osorio. Artisans from all over Brazil sell everything from jewellery to cushion covers. * The national ritual of Feijoada, a stew of pork, sausage and smoked meat cooked with black beans and garlic, garnished with slices of orange, served throughout the city's restaurants at the weekend. * For a purely carnivorous experience spend an evening at a Rodizio. Originating from the macho guacho south of Brazil, these are cavernous eateries which specialise in one thing and one thing only - meat.

South America’s giant, Brazil is a seductive country with dazzling beaches, tropical islands and picturesque colonial towns. Its verdant rainforests boast an astounding array of wildlife, while its wildly energetic cities are home to a multitude of ethnic groups.
Brazil is the world’s fifth-largest country in both size and population, and its thriving economy has made it Latin America’s powerhouse, enjoying record growth in the last five years (Brazil currently ranks among the ten largest economies in the world). This is a country revered for
its football prowess and rich musical traditions, which include samba, bossanova, tropicalismo, forró and numerous other distinctive styles.
Although Brazilians are a diverse bunch, joie de vivre is a characteristic shared by most of the country’s 192 million citizens. Carnival is the best-known manifestation of this celebratory spirit and is feted throughout Brazil. Rio de Janeiro and Salvador are the best places to join the mayhem, when samba-filled parties erupt through the streets, and revelers dance and celebrate for days on end.
Brazil’s landscape is as diverse as the people who inhabit it. Few tourists venture far from Brazil’s spectacular coastline (which spans 7400km/4598 miles), but a trip into the interior reveals a different but equally captivating Brazil. As well as the world’s biggest rainforest in the Amazon, Brazil boasts many wilderness areas including the wildlife-rich wetlands of the Pantanal, the canyons and caves of the Chapada Diamantina and the colorful old gold-mining towns in the mountains of Minas Gerais.
The population of Brazil is a melting pot of races, including indigenous people, descendants of slaves from Africa and the offspring of European immigrants. This variety is reflected in the food, architecture, music and culture of Brazil. It is this assortment of places, people and traditions that makes Brazil such an unforgettable place to visit.
Geography Brazil covers almost half of the South American continent and it is bordered to the north, west and south by all South American countries except Chile and Ecuador; to the east is the Atlantic. The country is topographically quite flat and at no point do the highlands exceed 3,000m (10,000ft). Over 60% of the country is a plateau; the remainder consists of plains. The River Plate Basin (the confluence of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers, both of which have their sources in Brazil) in the far south is more varied, higher and less heavily forested. North of the Amazon are the Guiana Highlands, partly forested, partly stony desert. The Brazilian Highlands of the interior, between the Amazon and the rivers of the south, form a vast tableland, the Mato Grosso, from which rise mountains in the southwest that form a steep protective barrier from the coast called the Great Escarpment, breached by deeply cut river beds. The population is concentrated in the southeastern states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The city of São Paulo has a population of over 12 million, while over 7 million people live in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
