Rio de Janeiro - Brazil Travel Guide, Vacation, Tourism
Rio de Janeiro is an awe-inspiring city, its stunning tropical setting matched only by its irrepressibly fun-loving residents, called Cariocas. Impossibly steep, age-worn granite peaks rise from the ocean between glorious stretches of golden sand. Brash skyscrapers vie for space with impeccably restored colonial buildings, and lush forests tumble down hillsides into densely populated residential areas.
Brazil's former capital has retained much of its distinguished historic character, with magnificent churches, palaces and mansions clustered in downtown Centro. Rio has long since outgrown its mountainous backdrop, however. Tunnels were blasted through the rock in order to populate neighbouring beaches during the last century, and successive land reclamations pushed out into Guanabara Bay. Such has been the success of its urban planning, in fact, that much of Rio's coastal designed landscape, including the iconic statue of Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) has been granted World Heritage status by UNESCO.
Today, Rio is best known as one of the world's most popular holiday destinations, particularly for its spectacular Carnival. Rio's citizens claim their identity with pride, but depending on whom you ask, a Carioca may either be born or live in Rio. And they come from a diverse mix of cultures; European, African, Asian and indigenous peoples, forming a racial harmony unequalled in Latin America.
Their lives reflect an equally wide spectrum of wealth or poverty. Up to a fifth of Rio's population is estimated to live in its vast, ramshackle favelas -- shantytowns -- which rub up against millionaires' villas and luxury condominiums. Somehow, and despite the activities of notorious criminal gangs, both rich and poor get along, with a characteristic liberal tolerance.
No matter what their background or economic standing, Cariocas are united by a shared passion for living. Ranked top of Forbes' latest list of the world's happiest cities, the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvellous City) revels in life, with the beach, futebol (football) and Carnival the principal diversions. The annual Mardi Gras pageant is Rio's greatest opportunity to show the world what it does best: party.
High above all this fun and frivolity are Rio's ever-present landmarks: Corcovado (Hunchback) mountain and Pão de Açúcar (Sugar Loaf) with its historic cable car. As well as these twin icons, Rio boasts a wealth of attractions, spectacles and activities, plus great food, music and entertainment - enough to keep a visitor busy for any length of stay.
Rio is constantly re-inventing itself. A vibrant agenda, including hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, is transforming the city into a safe and exciting place to visit. Copacabana, birthplace of its original hedonistic getaway image of the 1920s, is still impressive.
But now, other further-flung areas are drawing more visitors. Barra, near the new Olympic village, is booming. Downtown Lapa, a formerly seedy and insalubrious district, is the new heartland of Rio's live music scene. And nearby, the rundown port area is getting a huge makeover, with the Porto Maravilha project building futuristic new museums and a vastly improved infrastructure.

Top 10 Beach Cities of the World.
A beach is one of the most go-to destinations of children and adults alike. It is typical scenery to see people crowding in the seashore every summer. When the sun is up, expect numbers of visitors sprawling at the beach with their sun blocks and gears on.
Life’s a beach! To some, beach is no fun compared to hiking, trekking and skydiving. But to many, life in the beach is full of adventure. From sea adventures like snorkeling to surfing, scuba diving, jet skiing, parasailing, and motor boating, the beach could also offer land adventures like beach volleyball, beach mini golf, Frisbee and many more.
When you are tired of the usual city life with high-rise buildings and air pollution, if you want to cool off and unwind from the stressful work, run off to the beach. Pack your swimming gears and go straight off to the inviting crystal-clear emerald water and have a swim. Go ahead, relax, enjoy and unwind only after you spot the perfect destination in the list of the top ten beach cities in the world, according to the National Geographic.

#21 VIETNÃ - Incrível Halong Bay | Honeytour
A Halong Bay é o destino mais visitado do Vietnã! E não é a toa, o lugar é uma das 7 maravilhas da natureza, precisa de mais?
O nome Halong Bay significa literalmente baía onde desceu o dragão. É um lugar incrível famoso por suas mais de 3 mil ilhas que constroem um visual simplesmente único.
O passeio pela região é feito de cruzeiro, e como é quase um crime ir para o Vietnã sem viver essa experiência, nós claro embarcamos na Halong Bay.
Não demos tanta sorte, pois o tempo estava fechado e o sol pouco apareceu. No caminho de Hanói para Halong pegamos chuva quase o tempo todo durante as 4 horas de viagem. Quando finalmente entramos no navio a chuva deu um tempo e pudemos curtir aquela paisagem que tanto esperávamos.
É claro que todo mundo já tinha visto fotos e imaginava aqueles navios com as velas abertas e o sol batendo nas rochas. Foi diferente, mas não menos único. A paisagem em meio a névoa, a cor do mar, o vento no rosto. Tenho que dizer que a Halong Bay é realmente incrível seja no calor ou seja no frio.
Pudemos andar de caiaque pela baía, curtir de perto aquele mar imenso e descansar em algumas ilhas.
Outros passeio que normalmente estão presentes em todos os cruzeiros são a visita a fazenda de pérola e em uma das várias cavernas escondidas entre as rochas da região.
Confesso que pra mim a melhor parte foi subir no deck do navio e poder apreciar as rochas gigantes em meio ao mar, sentindo o vento batendo no rosto e ouvindo apenas o som dos navios que por ali passavam.
Assista o vídeo e veja como foi o nosso passeio pelas incrível Halong Bay. Duvido que você não vai ficar com vontade de visitar.

The Lost World - Mount Roraima
Mount Roraima is one the most mysterious and alluring mountains in the world. An enormous flat-topped mesa, its sheer cliffs rise from one of the most remote areas of the Amazon rain forest. It is entirely appropriate that Conan Doyle used Roraima as the inspiration for the novel Lost World, a tale of modern dinosaurs.
The mountain is a vast heart-shaped plateau, with the area of the rolling summit area about 50 sq.km or 20 sq. miles. It lies in three countries, but Venezuela controls over 80% of the summit, with Brazil and Guyana owning much smaller slivers. The highest point on the massif, a rock called the Maverick Stone, is in Venezuela, near the southwestern side of the plateau. Several kilometers northeast from this is the Triple-Country Point, a survey monument where the three nations meet.
In these days of popular adventure tourism, the ascent has become a relatively easy trek of about three to five days. There is a ramp on the southwest side of the mountain's mostly sheer cliffs that allows a non-technical route to the summit plateau, very close to the Maverick Stone. The start point for these trips is Santa Elena, Venezuela, and several tour companies arrange them, using native guides and porters.
Highlights from the top of Roraima includes the views from The Window, Maverick (highest peak), the Jazucci, underground caves, the amazon jungle, the neighbouring countries of Guyana and Brazil, and the crystal valley.
