Visit Vibrant Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro

When people think of visiting Brazil, there is a reason that Rio de Janeiro usually comes to mind. It’s one of the most culturally rich and exciting places in South America, and is the third largest city on the continent, plus it’s the number one most popular tourist destination south of the Equator! To find out why, one need only see it first hand and experience what’s on offer.

Near the Atlantic Ocean the cool winds make the heat more bearable compared to the more humid inland areas, but overall Rio enjoys hot weather almost all year round, with a rainy season during our northern winter (which is summer for the Southern Hemisphere). Thanks to the generally favourable conditions, the natural surroundings of the city have been able to flourish and the regional landscape is an incredible sight to behold for any tourists.

The Stunning and Reformed City of Medellín

Medellín boasts a very pleasant climate of about 24C and is now home to a selection of modern transport systems such as the Metro and Metro Cable. This efficient infrastructure has provided Medellín with the opportunity to be host to world-class events like IDB and OAS meetings. It’s situated inside a valley surrounded by a range of mountains, and the city always gives a warm welcome to any of its visitors.

Top 3 Places To Visit and Things To Do

1: Paragliding

Picture yourself soaring across the beautiful skies of Medellin – it’s just as beautiful as you’d imagine. Why not take a bird’s eye view of the city? Try to go early on in the day as the Medellin’s weather changes pretty frequently due to its position high in the mountains.

2: Botanical Gardens

Boasting around 40 acres of green space that’s dedicated to a wide range of plants and orchids, the garden is situated in an area that’s rife with people canoeing, riding bikes and also rowing. As well as this, the gardens are home to the Orchid Show every August (the same time as the flower festival!).
