Vibrant Rio lies cradled in the outstretched arms of the Christ the Redeemer Statue, which stands atop Corcovado Mountain. At the feet of this magnificent landmark lies one of the world's most magnificent bays.

Golden beaches with such alluring names as Copacabana and Ipanema stretch as far as the eye can see. There are close to two dozen such bays, which serve as a playground for some of the world's most beautiful people.

All along this waterfront, which swirls with mosaic art, are five-star hotels, elegant shops, popular restaurants and a lifestyle to match. Winding its way along this magnificent mile or so is a constant parade of handsome Cariocas, as the local people are known.

As with any capital city, the list of possibly touring opportunities is endless. Berthed at the Praça Maua pier by the city's downtown, visitors will not be disappointed by all the Rio's has to offer. From the 'must sees' of Sugar Loaf to night club; museums and galleries of the city, we can provide it all.
