| Rio de Janeiro Travel Guide for backpackers |
| This really is a marvellous city as it name 'cidade maravilhosa' signifies, and the people here enjoy it to the fullest, drinking, dancing, and playing on the beach. In a world filled with wonders and indescribable cities, Rio stands head and shoulders above them all, with beautiful parks and gardens, grand old mansions, and a magnificent statue of Our Lord standing high on the mountain overlooking a paradise. |
