5 days in Rio de Janeiro Itinerary

Bustling with samba music and all-night street parties, no city encapsulates the spirit of Brazil better than Rio de Janeiro.

You've added Museu do Amanha, Rodrigo de Freitas Lake, Museu Historico do Exercito e Forte de Copacabana, and other attractions to your itinerary. There's still lots to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, pause for some photo ops at Corcovado Christ the Redeemer, take some stellar pictures from Leblon Beach, and get the lay of the land with Walking tours.

To see other places to visit, reviews, more things to do, and more tourist information, refer to the Rio de Janeiro vacation planner.
