Rio de Janeiro has a spectacular setting, with granite peaks rising between the beaches and the bay. Take the cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain and the train up Corcovado to Christ the Redeemer.
Days here revolve around the beach, from Copacabana to Ipanema. Carnival, held before Lent, fills the city with parades and street parties.
