Rio de Janeiro
Rio is one of the most photographed cities in the world and synonym of Brazil for many foreigner tourists. Famous by its unique mountainous coast, its marvelous beaches, its music and the Carnival.
In 1502, Portuguese explorers sailed into Guanabara Bay and named it Rio de Janeiro (River of January), thinking it was a river mouth. It was the Brazil's capital from 1763 until 1960, when the Federal District of Brasilia was constructed. Today, Rio has important monuments and historical buildings.
