Is big always better? Perhaps yes, for continent-size BRAZIL is
a gem of a country with people to match. RIO DE JANEIRO'S
the essence, SAO PAULO the economic boomtown, and
Salvador da Bahia its spiritual heartland. Inland from the
Atlantic coast all the way to Amazonia, it's hard not to
respond to the Brazilian beat, which during Carnaval in Rio
is samba nonstop.
SEE/DO: Beyond the beautiful beaches and swinging
samba schools, Rio offers other cultural benchmarks such
as the Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM); Museu de Arte
Contemporanea de Niteroi (MAC), designed by Oscar
Niermeyer; and the new Museum of Tomorrow, designed by
Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Take a break with a picnic
outing in Rio's lush, 350-acre Botanical Garden, then venture
just beyond the city to Tijuca National Park, with hundreds
of miles of hiking trails. And right in Rio, you can rock climb up
Sugarloaf, bike up to Christ the Redeemer, hang-glide off
the cliffs behind Sao Conrado Beach, or catch the surf at Barra
for the city's best waves.
SIGNATURE EVENT: At least once in a lifetime, be on hand
for Rio Carnaval, stepping out Feb. 9-14, 2018 and March
1-6, 2019.
STAY: If bigger is better, the best choice will be the new
467-room Gran Melia Nacional Rio de Janeiro in front of
Sao Conrado Beach, opened last year in the totally revamped
34-story building, designed by Oscar Niemeyer. If small is
sybaritic, the newest luxury boutique hotel is Emiliano Rio,
with 62 rooms-almost half of them suites-on
Copacabana Beach.
