Rio De Janeiro in a nutshell:

Rio de Janeiro defies logic – a narrow strip of urban madness hemmed in by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and steep slopes to the west. This is a city of marvelous extremes – from the sensual feast of Carnival, the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana and Ipanema, to the world’s biggest football stadium, the Maracana, where 220,000 fans packed in to watch the 1950 World Cup Final. Christ the Redeemer watches over the Rio skyline from his lofty perch on the Hunchback Mountain; meanwhile a new generation of Ronaldinhos hone their skills on the streets of the city’s notorious shanty towns (favelas).
