BRAZIL
TRIP OVERVIEW
Sensuality, dancing, and partying: it seems the Brazilians have made a science of all that is fun in life. Brazil is known as one of the most diverse countries in Latin America, not to mention the continent's only former Portuguese colony. One of the largest countries in the world, Brazil, certainly has plenty to see!
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (5 nights)
Known for its beautiful landscapes, vibrant culture and friendly people, Rio de Janeiro is one of the cities around the world that most travelers put on their bucket list. Brazil’s interracial history of Portuguese, Japanese, Indian, and German settlers has created a multicultural society, which has led to festivals and celebrations that are known all over the world.
A city break in Rio de Janeiro presents a colorful cityscape of green mountains overlooking blue seas and long, sandy beaches. Expensive hotels and resorts line the seafronts of Ipanema and Copacabana, where sunny days drift into balmy evenings filled with street parties and loud music. From seeing the stunning Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado to learning to samba, check out our guide of things to do in Rio de Janeiro.

HIGHLIGHTS
CHRIST THE REDEEMER
Towering 2,310 feet above the city of Rio, the Christ the Redeemer statue has fascinated experts and historians for nearly a hundred years. It’s the 4th largest statue of Jesus Christ in the world, the largest Art Deco-style sculpture on the planet, and to top it all off, in 2007 the statue was deemed as one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

SUGAR LOAF
Sugarloaf Mountain is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 m above the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar.

Escadaria Selarón, also known as the 'Selaron Steps', is a set of world-famous steps in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are the work of Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón who claimed it as "my tribute to the Brazilian people"
