It’s here that Carnaval explodes in crazy colors and dancing with the most beautiful women in the southern hemisphere. Okay - that is subjective - Brazilians will quickly correct you that they are the best in all of the world. Sim senhor!

Why are you visiting this page? Do you want to see pictures of tanga-clad women frolicking about the beaches of Rio, or do you genuinely have an interest in the culture of this laid back paradise?

Will you see the elusive girl? Yes - guaranteed if you make the trip.
