Founded on March 1, 1565, São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro (such is its full name) was destined to be one of the fastest growing poles in Latin America. Capital of Brazil until 1960, even though the decision was made to move the administrative government of the country to Brasilia, to favor the development of other regions, nothing could stop the incredible growth of this city. With more than 11 million inhabitants, if we also consider the areas of the suburbs, it is the main tourist destination not only in the Carioca country, but also in all of Latin America.

Located on the west bank of Guanabara Bay, the city is surrounded by hills and small gentle elevations that give it its particular toponymy. It would not be enough a life to see all that Rio de Janeiro has to offer the tourist. The warm and cheerful personality of the inhabitant of Rio favors the positive image that the city immediately generates in the mind of the tourist. Undoubtedly, one of the most important icons of the city is located in the Corcovado, a hill about 700 meters high: the image of Christ the Redeemer. After five years of work, the works that left as a result a monumental statue of 38 meters high of Christ with open arms were completed. From here you can glimpse one of the best panoramic views of Rio.
The morros (small mountains) that surround the city are populated by extensive vegetation that contrasts with the infinite blue of the sea. The temperature is pleasant all year round, although summers can get a little hot. An incredible beach is Angra Dos Reis, to the south.
