Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s second-most-populous city, boasts a rich history dating back to its founding by the Portuguese in 1565. Once the capital of the Portuguese Empire, the Kingdom of Brazil, and the Brazilian Empire, Rio played a pivotal role in South American history. Today, it’s famed for iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Copacabana beach, as well as its vibrant culture of samba, carnival, and bossa nova. Beyond its beauty, Rio is a major economic and research hub, and hosted the 2016 Olympics, solidifying its status as a global city. Wikipedia
