Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Summary

The citizens of the ten-million-strong city of Rio de Janeiro call it the Cidade Marvilhosa – and there can’t be much argument about that. Rio sits on the southern shore of a landlocked harbour within the magnificent natural setting of Guanabara Bay. Extending for twenty kilometres along an alluvial strip, between an azure sea and jungle-clad mountains, the city’s streets and buildings have been moulded around the foothills of the mountain range which provides its backdrop, while out in the bay there are innumerable rocky islands fringed with white sand. The panoramic view over Rio is breathtaking, and even the concrete skyscrapers which dominate the city’s skyline add to the attraction.
