Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: A City of Passion between the Mountains and the Sea
Located on the Atlantic coast of southeastern Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, once the capital of Brazil (1763-1960), and is known as the "City of God" and the "City of Miracles". The city is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with the statue of Christ the Redeemer as its landmark, and its open arms guarding the golden shores of Copacabana Beach and the towering figure of Sugar Loaf Mountain. The Carnival in February is the biggest event in the world, where the rhythm of samba and colorful parade ignite the city's passion; the soccer culture is deeply rooted in the city, and the Maracanã Stadium carries countless legends. As the economic capital of Brazil, the city is a thriving tourism, oil and service industry, where nature meets urban life and attracts millions of visitors. With its diverse cultures, mountains and sea, Rio is one of the most attractive cities in the southern hemisphere.
