DAY 1: We'll start the day by taking a car to one of the main postcards of Rio de Janeiro: Sugarloaf Mountain.

We'll have lunch at a traditional bar in Copacabana, which serves Brazilian food and is mostly frequented by Rio residents. And then we'll visit the Copacabana Fort, a historic military building that stands by the sea, with a beautiful view of the shore. We'll then return to the hotel to change into bathing suits and enjoy the afternoon on Ipanema beach (the same one from the song "Girl from Ipanema" ๐). Right next door is the most famous spot to watch the sunset in Rio: the rock formation called Arpoador, next to the sea. If everyone wants a bit of bohemian life, we can take a car to go at night to the neighborhood of Lapa, home to the most famous samba bars in the city.
