You have been
hearing about the city of Rio de Janerio, Brazil for quite some time. Your
peers have told you their experiences and it all sounds extraordi
nary. Their
story has stirred so much anxiety and urge to get a taste of the awesomeness, a
taste of the cool breeze blowing off the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The opportunity
then comes. You nail a seven day vacation from work to anywhere you like and
your agent at worldntraveland gets you a wonderful vacation package to Rio de
Janerio. This is your chance to finally satisfy your expectations, curiosity
and fulfil your dream of visiting the magical city of Rio de Janeiro, the
largest city in Brazil.
You don’t want
to miss out on anything, so you have to plan your stay and get the vibes of a
mind blowing vacation. A single day in Rio is enough to totally delight you,
how much more 7 days. One might ask what he can do in a day in Rio that is so
outstanding. And I say, seeing is believing.
Start the day
with a stopover at a juice store. They are located all over the city. There are
several delicacies in Rio but their specialty is Feijoada. It is the
traditional dish. Feijoada is a combination of Portuguese and African
influences and consists of black beans and pork heated up to make a stew. What
a way to start your day. You can also have pastries and snacks which are easily
bought on the streets. Complement your breakfast with a cup of coffee or fruit
juice.
Feed your eyes
Energised and
refreshed from the breakfast, head to the Ipanema beach. Going early, you get a
good spot where you can have a wonderful view. The beach is marked by posts
dividing subcultures as diverse as the city itself. There are posts for artists
and hippies and posts for sport lovers with ongoing volley ball, soccer,
frescobol games. The beach is lined with little kiosks that sell food and the
least expensive beer. Meet and mix with the locals at the beach and have a
great time.
Your still at
the beach having fun and hunger sets in. Put on your sunshade and head over to
one of Rios steak houses were you can have perfectly grilled meat spiced so
good that you might want to lick your
plate clean. Esplanade grill is one of the city’s finest. You can either choose
to stay indoors or outside.
Dont get tired now.......
You still have
six days to go but you might consider going for a little sightseeing and dodge
the heat of the sun. Stand in awe at the gracefulness of the Statue of Christ
the Redeemer as it overlooks the city far below standing 98 feet tall. Head
over to Cosmo Velho, where the slightly unnerving cog train to the 710 metres
high peak known as Corcovado ascends through protected Tijuca national forest
to the Cristo Redentor, one of the most impressive monuments and urban views on
earth. So spectacular that it was voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the
World in 2007.
Still have time?
Get the party started
They say Lagos
never sleeps, Rio doesn’t get much sleep either. Head over to the Meza Bar
before heading to Lapa, Rio’s sandy but superb nightlife district and help
yourself with Brazilian-slanted tapas and creative cocktail. Get in the party
mood by stopping at a café, eat snacks and have a few glasses of beer. You have
a choice of rock, jazz, salsa, samba and local Brazilian drum bands at the
Baixo Quiteria and Baixo Farme, two blocks with a number of party spots. For
the rock lovers, the Emporio bar is the place for you.
If the night is
still young, go to the Rio Scenarium. It can be a little crowded but the thrill
is endless, each of its three cinematic floors is lavishly decorated with some
10,000 movie set props and abundant antique furniture. Go on, take that work
load off on that 18th century Victorian Divan, you earned it.
Well, if you are
still holding back on taking that vacation, you are missing out on a chance of
a life time. Call our agents and log on to our website to get your vacation
package and have a YABA DABA DOO TIME!!!!!
