TRAVEL GUIDE: RIO DE JAINERO
/
Rio de Janiero is the perfect escape, offering perennially warm/hot weather, a bustling nightlife, and dynamic food scene. Most distinctively, life in Rio revolves around the beach. Locals head to the beach at all hours of the day, whether it be for an early morning run on the beach, post-work relaxation, or an all-day family affair. It replaces a park, diner or cafe as the setting for a casual hangout. This is apparent in Rio’s fashion—I can’t think of anywhere I’ve visited where they wear less clothing—as well as it’s laid back vibe. Some of our highlights were the Jardim du Botanico (a gorgeous botanical garden), a helicopter ride for a unique view of Cristo Redentor, and wandering around Lapa, a gritty neighborhood with incredible street art and nightlife.
