Brazil's adventure trip

It offers a variety of cultural and entertaining opportunities, as well as numerous shopping experiences. The streets and sidewalks of Rio accommodate about eight million people and one million vehicles daily – cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and scooters – all competing for space where only a third is available.
