Why Rio de Janeiro? Rio de Janeiro sits between mountains and sea — beaches, samba and a skyline crowned by Christ the Redeemer above dramatic granite peaks. The city is known for Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana and Ipanema, Carnival and samba and Sugarloaf Mountain.
Good to know: December–March is hot and lively (and Carnival time); May–October is cooler and drier. The metro links the beach zones; taxis/rideshare are handy, and keep valuables low-key.
