Visit the city of happiness this New year. January is the middle of the wet season here but but this is the typical tropical rain pattern that almost always amounts to a 30-minute downpour a few times a week, and sunny skies before and after that. So, it’s pretty much ideal weather. There are tourist spots like the Botanical garden, Tijuca forest, Sugar loaf mountain etc which you will visit once you visit Rio.

TIP : * Pack umbrellas!

         * The hotels overlooking the beach will be costly at this time of the year, so if             you are willing to stay two or three blocks inland, you will have a place for             half the money.

Must do :

• Christ the redeemer : MUST.ABSOLUTELY.GO!!! it was one of the seven wonders of the world and it’s majestic. But it’s hot up there so be sure to bring water.
