VISIT RIO DE JANEIRO

If it’s your first time in Rio, you can’t pass up relaxing and people-watching along the shores of Copacabana or Ipanema. But don’t spend all of your time at the shore; the Marvelous City has more spectacular natural beauty to offer with sites like Tijuca National Park and Sugar Loaf. Venture into charming neighborhoods like Santa Teresa and Lapa, to get a real taste of what it means to be a Cariocas (native Brazilians born in Rio de Janeiro). From the world-renowned beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema to the towering Christ the Redeemer and picture-perfect Sugarloaf mountain.

To ttake to go deeper into Rio’s sites, culture, and history. Whether you heard this name in a song or seen pictures of the unique black and white wavy sidewalk patterns, Copacabana is known by many as a lively and festive neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, known for apartments, restaurants, nightclubs, shops, and so much more. Most famously, it is also known for the iconic Copacabana Beach – a 2 ½ mile long, curved beach where both locals and tourists flock every day, to enjoy some sun, swim, and beach volleyball.

Exploring the neighborhood via bike tour is a great way to see the area, and to be able to sneak into its quieter streets, and unique corners not usually seen by many. Make sure to also check out the symbolic Copacabana fort.
