About Rio De Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city and the most touristic city of Brasil. This city, remembered for being home to the World Cup, is located near the sea and unsurprisingly its beaches are famous, the most renowned one being Copocabana. However; this beach is not always the safest in terms of theft; therefore the luxurious Lebnon is the most luxurious place or Ipanema can be preferred.

The temperature never falls below 20 °C in Rio thanks to the tropical climate. You can visit any time of the year. However, it rains a lot in the summer.
