Rio de Janeiro is called the cidade maravilhosa (marvellous city). Eleven million Cariocas lives between the ocean and the mountain, doing of Rio one of the places the more densely populated in the world. Here, the Cariocas is devoted to the pleasure like nowhere elsewhere: beach, samba, cerveja (beer), football and cachaça. Rio knows the however some problems and not least, a third of the population lives in the favelas on the mountainside. |
