Many people think of Brazil as merely an amazing paradise beach⊠and they are not entirely wrong. But, this mysterious and passionate corner of the globe is much more than just a pristine sandy utopiaâŠ
Rio de Janeiro (âRiver of Januaryâ in Portuguese), which was classified as a Cultural Landscape by UNESCO, is a metropolitan gem tucked between the mountains and the sea. Rio is best known for its bossanova (sultry Brazilian music genre), mouth-watering feijoada (a traditional bean and pork stew), refreshing caipirinhas (classic Brazilian cocktail), and the beaming smiles of its people.
