Amazon, named after female warriors of Greek mythology, the 'Amazon' is itself a place of nearly mythical status. What traveler hasn't imagined a trip to the Amazon, not only to admire the towering trees and awesome river, but to enter, in a real sense, the very life spring of the planet, the source of so much of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the weather we rely on. To be sure, expecting a Discovery Channel–like experience (Jaguars in every tree, spear-toting Indio's around every bend), canoeing through a flooded forest, dozing in a hammock on a boat chugging upriver, waking to the otherworldly cry of Howler Monkeys. On a river whose size is legendary, it’s actually the little things that make it special. Give it some time, forget your expectations and the Amazon cannot fail to impress.

Drive along famous Ipanema and Copacabana. Beaches First of all, it’s important to realise that the beach is not part of the life of Rio – it is the life. It is the city’s great equalizer and its essential escape valve – all beaches are accessible and free to everyone without restrictions. The beach is a nursery and schoolyard, a reading room, a gym, soccer field and volleyball court. It serves as a restaurant, office and rock concert venue, all at the same time. Occasionally, someone goes into the water, but only for a refreshing pause before returning to more important beach-based activities.
