As everybody knows, the Rio de Janeiro is one of the biggest tourist destination for most people who visit Brazil. The city itself is indeed very beautiful with a long beautiful beach along the city. But there is also the country side of Rio de Janeiro and many other beautiful places that people shouldn't miss! Now with the world cup 2014 and the Olympic games in 2016, I believe Brazil and specially Rio de Janeiro will receive many tourists. So here are some of the beautiful places you could also visit in Rio not only those typical tourist places they always show on TV!
