Description Rio de Janeiro is situated on one of the most unique sites in the world. Surrounded by picturesque mountains, coves, and beaches, it is modern city and home to over 11 million inhabitants. Rio is located just north of the Tropic of Capricorn along the Brazilian Atlantic coast. The terrain is characterized by steep hills and mountains which are offshoots of the mountain range Sierra do Mar. These hills are granite based and lead inland to form the Brazilian Highlands. One of the most famous is the coastal mountain Sugar Loaf, which is the landmark most commonly associated with Rio. The original city was founded just inland from the coast on an inlet known as "Guanabara Bay." This was thought to have been the mouth of a river, hence the name given to the city, Rio de Janeiro or January River.
You will travel in an air-conditioned motorcoach which will make additional stops at hotels around Rio de Janeiro to pick-up and drop-off other travelers. Your bilingual guide will present the tour in multiple languages depending on the need of your fellow travelers.
