One of the most densely populated city in the world, the people thrive on dance, drink, beach, sport and sun. In this city of samba, Cariocas of every shape, size and wallet carry with them a Dionysian spirit Prepare to have your senses engaged and your inhibitions untied while in Rio. You'll be seduced by a host of images: the joyous bustle of vendors at Sunday's Feira Hippie (Hippie Fair); the tipsy babble at sidewalk cafés as patrons sip their last glass of icy beer under the stars; the blanket of lights beneath Pão d'Açucar; the bikers, joggers, strollers, and power walkers who parade along the beach each morning. Borrow the carioca spirit for your stay; you may find yourself reluctant to give it back.
