"With miles of white-sand beach that serve as the city's playground, Rio de Janeiro is also surrounded by mountains wih evocative names such as Sugaloaf and Corcovado poking up their distinctive granite profiles, a rainforest considered Brazil's largest urban park and a spectacular harbor. Rio is blessed by geography, topography and a fine climate, not to mention a rich history that has made the city a diverse cultural stew. Throw in some sultry samba; a joie de vivre that characterizes the Carioca, or Rio denizen; and a fabulous selection of clubs, restaurants and bars in which to experience this exhuberance; and visitors will find a sophisticated and vibrant city that invites exploration." VacationAgent, December 2008
