OVERVIEW

Visit one of the most famous cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro. Known as Cidade Marvilhosa, or the Marvellous City, it won’t take you long to see why Rio de Janeiro has earned this title. From the stunning beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Botofogo to mountain peaks such as Sugarloaf and Corcovado, Rio de Janeiro offers delights for your eyes. You’ll stay right in the heart of Copacabana, stand with arms wide outstretched on Corcovado, look back at the glittering city from Sugarloaf Mountain and more on this four day Chimu Adventures Rio de Janeiro Extension. Indeed Rio de Janeiro is something to marvel at. And you might find yourself agreeing with the Brazilian’s when they claim “Deus é Brasileiro,” which means “God is Brazilian,” as it’s hard to find a city or a place in the world to top it, so surely the gods created it for us to enjoy?
