Rio de Janeiro Vacation Packages

Celebrate Brazilian culture in the city where the samba was born and enjoy the
stunning natural wonders right at its doorstep.

Located on the southeast coast of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is a city blessed with a
spectacular geography that merges white-sand beaches with rain forest-
covered mountains. Outdoor enthusiasts will revel in the opportunities to
connect with nature, but there are also plenty of attractions for culture buffs. As
a former capital of Brazil, Rio is rich with history and modern culture, ensuring
an enjoyable trip regardless of whether you prefer state parks or samba.

Catch the sunrise on either the upscale Ipanema Beach on the southeastern
coast or the nearby playful Copacabana Beach. Before sunset, make your way
to Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Acucar). Take a cable-car ride to the top for a
remarkable view including beaches, forests and other landmarks.

Make time for a trip to Corcovado, home of the statue Christ the Redeemer,
known locally as Cristo Redentor. Beat the crowds by arriving early as this free
New Seven Wonders of the World attraction is on every travelers itinerary.
Youll understand why when you see the impressive views surrounding this
statue, which was erected in 1931.

Corcovado is in the Tijuca National Park, the perfect place to connect with
nature. Conservationists replanted much of the park in the late 1800s after
substantial deforestation. This destination is now a lush home to more than 100
native animal species, making it the largest urban forest in the world. Amenities
along the trails include restaurants and restrooms.

Soccer fans wont want to miss a match at the famous Maracan Stadium. If
you cant catch a game, stop at the sports museum inside the stadium to see
memorabilia, photographs and uniforms of Brazils greatest football players.

Enjoy Rios vibrant nightlife as you listen to local music and watch samba
dancers. While bar hopping, be cautious when traveling on foot. Leave
valuables in your hotel room and either avoid crowds or travel within a small
group including locals. The city is easy to navigate by bus during the day, but
its best to avoid using this form of transport at night.
