Rio
Escape - 5 Days/ 4 Nights
Rio de Janeiro, the marvelous city, is dramatically
set between rainforest-clad cliffs and the sea. It never sleeps and it is easy to get around day or
night. Away from the beaches and intense nightlife, there is plenty of art by
contemporary artists in galleries and museums; excellent shopping particularly
for jewelry, plentiful hotels in all price ranges and a huge variety of
restaurants. Tours take you to the breathtaking views at the top of the
396-meter Sugarloaf, the Christ at Corcovado mountain, as well as the Tijuca
rainforest, yet visitors can find plentiful urban cultural adventures in this
special city.
