Book Description

Series: Insight Pocket Guide Rio de Janeiro & Its Coast | Publication Date: July 1, 2005

It's no longer the Brazilian capital nor is it the country's biggest city, but Rio is undoubtedly the most colourful city in Brazil. From its spectacular landmarks to its brash and glitzy beaches, and of course its residents, the irrepressible cariocas, everything in Rio de Janeiro must be seen to be believed. This guidebook details four itineraries that link the highlights of this famously beautiful city, including Corcovado, Ipanema, the Sugar Loaf and Copacabana. These are followed by excursions to Petropolis, Parati and the Costa Verde, and Buzios and the Best Beaches along the whole coastline. Plus leisure activities, calendar of events, practical information, and dozens of full-colour photographs and maps, including a pull-out map clearly marked with all the itineraries and excursions.
