It's been four years of showing around what the most visited city in Brazil has to offer. The current issue of RIO This Week is looking even more like Brazil. Our + Brasil crew arrived in places that surely manage to catch the camera lenses. The mountains, forests, beaches, rivers, architecture and people help turning any scenery into a post-card picture.
Summer temperature easily mounts up to 40ºC in this country of continental proportions. So don't forget about the water, lot's of it. Rio de Janeiro has 73km of the country's most visited strip of sand, truly a celebration. Jericoacoara, in Ceará, always ranks among Brazil's top beaches.
Salvador, Bahia, home to candomblé, has undoubtedly received Yemanja's blessings, the queen of the ocean. The planet's largest forest couldn't be out left out of this route, with its fauna and flora, rivers, canyons... the Amazon is the place for superlatives.
It's time for living on the open air, for heading straight into our culture which is intimately linked to summertime, that's for sure. Meet the Brazilian creative vibe, which gets even stronger and more easy going during this season! There's music playing anywhere you go, parties all around. This issue's sound track calls for MV Bill, who participated of a photo shoot at Cidade de Deus' slum. The party is up to the beautiful and filled with style carioca girls who work at the best night club doors in town. The hostesses tell us all about the best events going on.
Enjoy the best of summer which already starts with wishes for the best coming with the new year and carnival's good vibes. It's time to celebrate and get a sense of what Brasil really is, written with an "s". This is our way of contributing for a better Rio, a city that wishes to get even more Brazilian. Let's hit it off?
