Rio de Janiro

Smiles are characterized by inertia, cheerful intonations crossing streets without looking. Vivid and stark garments adhere to the skin, restoring the urge to watch and be watched. Accelerates your blood pumping (to shut the doctor or to join the party) while looking for excuses to invent feet dancing. And no music sounds, of Me, because we are in Rio de Janeiro. And there are marked pulses arriving from the cradle, closed and bolted to pessimism and other foreign undoubtedly evil.
And how can it be otherwise, if the sun Atlantic gives you the reason every morning. That you should think, from his perch Corcovado Christ, unappealable and well loved symbol of the city. 1931, is the world's largest art deco statue. And nobody doubts it adding its 30 meters. The best way to access the mountain's cable car, which includes among its ascent routes Sugarloaf, where it is held, camera in hand, one of the most beautiful views of the city, highly recommended at sunset.
But the real Rio de Janeiro is known on the streets, even guarantors of a colonial past, and even imperial, since after independence in 1822 the country defined itself as an empire. Here are the Itamaraty palace or São Bento Monastery to witness it. In striking contrast are windows of the Cathedral of São Sebastião, inaugurated in 1979 and most picturesque are the arches of Lapa, an ancient aqueduct, now used as a tram viaduct.
Privileged in its natural setting, River City offers a small sample of their chances in the shady Botanical Garden. Of course, expect the best, again, on the street: the Tijuca National Park, the largest urban forest in the world, forming a lush oasis in the city.
Extroverted, sensual rhythm and carnival and Rio moves. But not everything in life is Sambadrome. And so does Rio, viscera inside, from the heart of the favelas, degraded by poverty and bullets, some of them stranded in tourism zones. So at no time should distract the guard or the look on packages and purses, or in tourist areas such as beaches.
And here comes the most awaited moment: the Copacabana beach, with its crescent charged four miles of sand. Called the 'Sea Princess' from the golden decade of the 30's, when clubs dressed in a glamorous black and white, only challenged by the fast color cocktails. Now is the nerve center of the city, a continuous flow from tanned torsos and skimpy bikinis fabric. Where coconut water from street vendors compete with more on alcoholic drinks and towels always so concerned that they lean more heated, which is always the sun above. And if not, there are also hoping the beaches of Leblon or Ipanema mythical, rocking her feminine charm to the gentle rhythm of bossa nova.
Brazil is a country that has reared its head in the international arena with an enviably muscular potential. We will not say it's fashion destination because fashions come and go. But Rio gets ready to celebrate all celebrable: 2016 Olympics and the Football World Cup 2014 And there it is, moment of silence, the Maracana stadium. Shrine revered by anyone who has sung a goal in life, which is quoting half the planet. 74,000 thousand pharynx at war or catharsis, brushing cheerfully give infarcts: the doctor street or that one. And surely there will be no white coat choose to be in the stands. Because this is Rio de Janeiro and here the heart is to spend it.
