Rio de Janeiro
TEst Rio has it all! From the Christ the Redeemer statue keeping watch over the city to the samba beats echoing from Lapa’s arches. Lounge at Copacabana or Ipanema beach and watch the sunset looking at the iconic mountains. Don’t miss the cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain for amazing views. It's worth it paying a visit to a Escola de Samba where you can feel the energy of the carnival beats or going to a roda de samba for fantastic music and atmosphere with people singing and dancing around the musicians. There are great day trips to see nature or turquoise sea beaches from here as well.

Minas Gerais
Yes, we're recomending the whole state! If you are not too interested on the beach, but rather see some diverse landscapes and small towns, Minas Gerais is a great option that not many foreigners know about. You see colonial beautiful towns such as Ouro Preto and Tiradentes. Hike in Serra da Canastra, a stunning mountain range full of dramatic cliffs and waterfalls or go to Capitolio with clear blue lakes, and beautiful canyons and waterfalls. Minas Gerais is also big on coffee production, so you can visit a Coffee Farm to see the fields and have a tasting. Anywhere you go in Minas Gerais you will also get the bonus of amazing food (land of the famous pao de queijo) and people (this is where Camila’s Grandma was born)!
