Brazil’s Rio De Janeiro has got to be one of the most spectacular cities of earth, with rain forest clad mountains surrounding a magnificent bay of islands the post card pictures are quiet amazing. There is no better place to see this party city than the top of Corcovado Mountain which is home to the huge Christ statue called the Redeemer here you can see the best views of the harbour and the monstrous Sugarloaf mountain. But you can’t visit Rio without seeing the bronzed beaches of Copacabana, Leblon and Ipanema, Brazilian’s love the suntan and to party and lets not forget the biggest party of them all is held in Rio…the annual Mardi Gra which is usually held in February or March. The city is bathed in golden sunshine all year round so there is no bad time to visit.
