The contrasts of its capital – the city of Rio de Janeiro – makes for a more interesting tour. Here the tourist can see what is more luxurious in Brazil and also the famous slams (favelas). The Sugar Loaf Mountain, the "Cristo Redentor" (Christ the Redeemer), the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, São Conrado and the "Angra dos Reis" Island are the spots that one can not miss at all. For those who want to know a little bit more of history the tip is to go to Petrópoplis, far 66 kilometres from Rio de Janeiro, this city was the court of the Brazilian Second Empire.
