THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA
When I think of Rio de Janeiro, my mind always wanders to the song, “The Girl From Ipanema.”
To listen to a classic Sinatra and Jobim duet of this marvelous song, copy and paste:

Footbal is one of Brazilians’ biggest passions and Maracanã has become a great symbol for it. Latin America’s largest stadium was built for the Soccer World Cup in 1950. Back then, Brazil lost to Uruguay in a historic and humiliating final. The country got over it. Today it’s the only nation …

You’ve probably already seen it in a postcard but once you get there the view will be stamped in your mind for a lifetime. This is the first touristy place you want to visit to have a clear picture of Rio’s layout. The spot offers a 360° view of the city. Take the map with you and figure it all…

Looking for a place to go have fun at night in Rio?
Lapa is the place you're looking for! Lapa is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Rio, it has tradition, it's beautiful, it's dirty.
It is a bohemian place since the early 1900's. Samba was born here around 1910, Chorinho was born here too. M…

I wanted to enjoy the “samba” (a popular and characteristic brazillian rhythm) down with the locals, at samba schools in the suburbs (where they say it started), but I had heard from some people that I shouldn’t go by myself in that direction, so once I heard from a friend that Brazil Expediti…

Rio is not only blessed by wild vegetation, but also by a stunning planted garden. It holds over 8,000 species, including century old imperial palm trees, Amazon plants and fruit trees. In 1808, when the Portuguese royal family arrived in Brazil, King João VI created this garden to receive plants f…

Lagoa lake is a vivid place in the Rio map, but usually visitors miss it. It has many interesting features. There's a road biking around the lake, it is a great road if you are a fan of bicycle.
The lake has a great view from every side. There are many facilities for sport activities like skating…

There's lake just behind the Ipanema beach namely Lagoa Lake. It is a great place but it is usually ignored as people go toward the opposite direction to the beach.
Just behind the lake, there's a park over the hills. Going up in the park for 45 min, you can reach the top of the hill where you ca…

Santa Teresa, in my opinion, is the best neighborhood in Rio (with Lapa). It's really old and the most charming and fun thing to do there it take a ride in the old train around there.
Take the subway to Carioca station and it will be easy to find the train station. It costs only BRL 0.75. It lea…

You don’t want to leave Rio without watching the sunset from up above. The Sugar Loaf is the best sight. Not only is it worth the ride in the cable car, but having a drink at the top after a busy day is also just perfect. There are two hills you can ride up. The first is Morro da Urca (735 feet / …
