The lush mountains and golden beaches in Rio de Janeiro create some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet.

However, it’s the sounds that provide a wild and create vibe – Rio de Janeiro is the home of Samba, which led to the creation of Bossa Nova, blending with other genres such as Choro, Sertaneja, Pagode to create a distinctly unique soundtrack for life in Brazil, one that is over 500 years in the making.
The perfect blend of these sights and sounds is achieved every February during the biggest party in the world, the Carnival.

Ipanema
You may have heard of a certain girl from here, perhaps to the tune of Stan Getz’s smooth tenor saxophone. Located in the Zona Sul between Leblon and Arpoador and adjacent to Copacabana, Ipanema is another famous beach, where samba, surfing, food and fashion all come together, so much so that Travel Channel awarded Ipanema with the title of “sexiest beach in the world”. By the way, “The Girl From Ipanema” would go on to become the second most recorded song in history. And for the record, the girl’s name is Heloisa Eneida Menezes Pais Pinto.

Tijuca Forest
The city can get overwhelming at times, and if you’re looking to get away for a little, sign up for a tour of the Tijuca Forest. This tropical rainforest is also the largest urban forest in the world, covering an area of 32 square kilometers. You can enter the forest through the neighborhoods of Tijuca and Barra da Tijuca. Corcovado Mountain is located in the forest, site of the massive statue Christ the Redeemer.

Leblon
The most affluent neighborhood in the area, Leblon is located next door to its sophisticated neighbor Ipanema. Leblon is also the name of its local beach. The area is very cosmopolitan and home to upper-class citizens, regarded as the most expensive in Latin America in terms of price per residential square meter. All of this means it’s a little more exclusive than other neighborhoods, but it’s also a little quieter and relaxed, too.
