Rio De Janeiro,Brazil (One of the most beautiful cities in the world )

Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beautiful beaches, breathtaking landscape, nightlife and the annual carnival. Rio is the second largest city of Brazil, located on a strip of South Atlantic Coast. The city was the capital of the Brazil for nearly two centuries, but in 1960 the Government shifted to São Paulo. On 1 July 2012 UNESCO granted Rio de Janeiro a home of a World Heritage Site.

Brazil's best known city has everything going for itself: the beach, the hills, the carnival, the girls, the boys, the tan, the statue. But it also has a down side with its ghettos. A great exotic vacation in a country that has its serious 
downfalls.

Rio de Janeiro is a main cultural hub in Brazil and primary tourist attraction and resort in the country. It receives more than 2.8 million international tourists each year which make it the most visited city in South America region. Rio de Janeiro is also the most awarded city in South America by World Travel Awards as the best destination.
