Sailing, trailing & climbing in Rio: enjoy the mountains.../ Navegar, escalar & trilhar pelo Rio: aproveite as montanhas...

When visiting Rio, enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the sea and mountains of the region. The city has the world's largest urban rain forest and more climbing and trailing routes than in any other metropolitan area. It's also a place with a wide ecological diversity, good to see many different tropical plants and animals. Sailing around Guarnabara Bay, where Rio is located, is another interesting angle to see the beautiful sights of Christ the Redeemer at Corcavado Mountain, the Sugar Loaf with its cable cars, Niteroi and the port. Another great sail is up the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema with a stop at the nearby Cagarras Islands for a swim and snorkeling. You may even get the chance of swimming with dolphins in the wild! Rio is a great city to experience nature and adventure all at the same time!

Ao visitar o Rio, desfrute da beleza e da tranquilidade dos mares e montanhas da região. A cidade tem a maior floresta urbana do mundo e também mais rotas de trilha e escalada que em qualquer outra área metropolitana. É um lugar de grande diversidade ecológica, propício para se ver uma variada quantidade de plantas tropicais e animais silvestres. Navegar pela Baía de Guanabara é uma outra opção para se ter um novo ângulo do Cristo Redentor no alto do Corcovado, do Pão de Açúcar com o seu bondinho, de Niteroi e do porto. Outra opção de roteiro é navegar pelas praias de Copacabana e Ipanema, com uma parada estratégica nas Ilhas Cagarras para avistar, e quem sabe, nadar com os golfinhos! O Rio é uma grande cidade para se experienciar natureza e aventura, tudo ao mesmo tempo!

Hi Paul! Thanks for dropping by!

Don't worry, you don't need to be an expert at sailing or swimming! We have many tourist offices here that offer different types of excursions, by sea, air and land! And they provide the entire staff and stuff needed for enjoying the trip safely (even if you don't know how to swim)!

So, you have no excuses for giving up sailing, swimming or flying!
