A city of contrasts, Rio De Janeiro has long been fancied as a land of skimpy swimsuits and Carnival spectacle. Lodged between the sea and lush tropical mountains, Rio is one of the most readily identifiable cities in the world.
Under the outstretched arms of the 38m Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado and for Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit, it's easy to identify with Rio's allure.
Rio is undergoing a renaissance of sorts, largely due to the recent World Cup and the impending Summer Olympics. A city notorious for its glitzy hotels and palm-fringed beaches, the fulcrum of its energy is shifting downtown. Away from the traditional South Zone destinations of Copacabana and Ipanema, the downtown port area is in the midst of an impressive overhaul of exhumed historic sites and new museums.
A city of endless adjectives and multitudes of contradictions, Rio De Janeiro is sure to impact all those who visit.
