Many of our travellers ask me what makes Rio de Janeiro such a ‘marvellous city’. Of course the scenery helps, and the geographical location of the city – set between a beautiful bay with dozens of mountains covered in Atlantic rainforest surely is crucial to creating a mindblowing first impression for those who first arrive.
However, much more than this picture perfect scenario, I believe it is the Carioca way of life that truly appeals to those who spend a a few days there.
