Rio de Janeiro

Of course, this list would be remiss without mentioning the most well-known cities!

Perhaps Brazil’s most famous destination, Rio de Janeiro is rightfully well known. With numerous stunning white sand beaches, epic mountains as a backdrop, and a vibrant, musical nightlife full of sensuality and samba, the city is full of fun and full of surprises.

Whether you’re intent on a beachy vacation, an adventure-packed week of hiking and rock climbing, or a sophisticated trip full of cocktail sipping and shopping, Rio truly has it all. Don’t miss out on sipping a caipirinha on Copacabana beach, checking out Samba at its birthplace of Pedro do Sal, and visiting at least one of the many forests within city limits.
