Brazil
Rio de Janeiro, the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro and
the second largest city of Brazil, is known for its natural settings,
carnival celebrations, samba and beaches. Rio's beaches, including
the famous Ipanema and Copacabana, are a main attraction due to
the city's warm climate. It also contains the biggest urban forest in
the world, the Tijuca Forest, which was completely replanted
during the second half of the 19th century.

Music and dancing are obviously popular in Brazil, but it’s not all
samba and bossa nova. Pagode, a slower form of samba, is very
popular in Rio. Hip-hop has also gained a large following in Rio.
In addition, no mention of Brazil goes too far without bringing up
the famous Churrasco, the all-you-can-eat meat smorgasbord, or the
Caipirinha, the “national” Brazilian drink. Though both of these are
definitely something you want to try, moderation is best for both
indulgences.
Culture at Rio De Janeiro
Rio is known for not only the natural beauty of its surroundings, but
the natural beauty of its people as well. Their beauty is much more
than physical; most possess an internal joyfulness recognized
through their welcoming smiles. Cariocas are known especially for
their lighthearted attitude. They joke about everything, which can
catch you off guard when some of the topics can seem a bit
politically incorrect. However, they usually mean no harm with
their words- humor is just a main way of dealing with things,
whether good or bad.
