One in a Brazilian

With its beautiful blue ocean views, luscious tropical rainforests and crystal clear skies, everyday is a good day to be in Rio de Janeiro. The natural landscape and “postcard” views of Rio is one of the main reasons this place of finesse is referred to as “The Marvelous City”.

Divided into three major areas, Rio covers over 480 square miles; and tourist can’t help but want to experience every inch of the exotic city’s greatness. Though anxious tourist may not be able to visit all of Rio in one trip, panoramic flights are available for those looking to capture an aerial tour of the majestic city. Cruzeiro Taxi Aereo offers helicopter sightseeing tours for 4-5 passengers and covers all of Rio’s most breathtaking enchantments. Choose between Bell Jet Ranger III or the Squirrel AS 350B2 as your “airborne coach” and soar the fascinating skies of stunning Rio. Helisight also has excellent tour packages for those interested in the aerial exploration of this mountainous locale.

Those with a yearning to explore the unknown who are looking to add a little adventure to a conventional tour of the city may be inclined to try the in Favela Tour. Explore the “shanty towns” of Rio de Janiero by voyaging through Rio streets that are not within the Brazilian government’s legal limits. Journeying through these poverty stricken areas compiled mostly of bricks and garbage, give tourists a view of the “other side” of Rio. Touring the Favela’s of Rochina or Vila Canoas in a safari style vehicle makes the experience more engaging, while allowing adventurers to get a little closer to the action. Because these areas are particularly dangerous and not typically explored by travelers tourist should not visit the Favela’s without a guide. Rio Tourismo Radical offers Favela tours in addition to a number of other guided tours in Rio including Hang Gliding, Para Gliding, and Sky Diving tours. Corcovado is another astounding attraction in Rio de Janeiro and home of Christ the Redeemer, a towering statue of Christ made of concrete and soapstone. If the culture and history of Rio sparks your interests, pay a visit to Paraty, a small colonial town perfectly set right off the ocean and fully- preserved to its premium state. You won’t find any cars in Paraty, as the town is all about leisure. Its cobblestone paved streets and ancient architecture make this locale a sightseer’s dream. Enclosed in huge mountains sheltered by lush wooded forest, the secluded town of Paraty is held in a class of its own.
