Buenos Aires to Rio Cruise February 21 – March 5, 2007

Rio de Janeiro

In beauty, beaches and joie de vivre, Rio de Janeiro reigns supreme. Rio’s locals, known as Cariocas, add to the city’s natural gifts of perfect weather and stunning geography a culture of carefree fun that pervades all aspects of life. You’ll experience it playing at the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. You’ll sense it in the many outdoor bars – gay and straight alike – as you enjoy a caipirinha and conversation with friends. Even as you ascend the heights of Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado’s Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio’s two best-known landmarks, you’ll see it in Brazilian smiles everywhere. If you’ve never been to Rio before, you’ll soon understand why, to Brazilians, it’s known as the “Cidade Maravillosa” – the Marvelous City.
