WHY GO
With its colonial history and fabulous setting, the sophisticated city of Rio de Janeiro continues to be one of the world's most spectacular destinations. It is a city of contrasts where glitzy hotels and high-rise business blocks line the palm-fringed, white-sand beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, while shanty towns known as favelas carpet the surrounding hillside.
