Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷
Watching the sun set over Rio made me understand why so many people fall in love with this city.

Rio’s beaches feel less like somewhere you visit and more like somewhere you become part of. The energy along the shore, with the mountains rising behind the city, is hard to replicate anywhere else.
Pass it on
Worth knowing
Rio’s famous beaches are woven into everyday life — locals walk, run, play volleyball and socialise along the beachfront rather than treating it simply as a place to sunbathe.

Don't miss
Walk the promenade rather than staying in one spot. The atmosphere changes dramatically from one stretch of beach to the next.
