With white sandy beaches in one direction, lush green mountains
in another, and the famous Christ Redeemer statue perched above
it all, Rio de Janeiro is one ofthe most spectacular cities
in the world. And that's just the view! Add the friendliness
of the locals, the laid-back atmosphere, and the sultry tropical
climate,and you'll soon see why they call Rio "A CidadeMaravilhosa"
(the Marvelous City).
Rio's distinctive allure attracts visitors year-round, but the
city is at its most brilliant during the famous festivities
of Carnival. In five days in late February or early March, Rio
comes to a virtual standstill as parties, dancing, parades,
and the music of samba fill the streets. Carnival is truly the
people's festival, with everyone—"Cariocas"
(Rio residents) and visitors alike—welcome to join in
the fun.
Although renowned for its festive atmosphere, Rio is also the
headquarters to some of Brazil's largest national and multinational
companies. It is a cosmopolitan city with a wide variety of
restaurants, tourist attractions, and nightlife options. Rio's
relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and friendly residents
make learning Portuguese in this city an unforgettable experience.
