With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Projetada por Niemeyer em 1951 para sua moradia, é considerada um dos mais significativos exemplares da arquitetura moderna brasileira, sendo notoriamente reconhecida, por especialistas de história e crítica da arte, como síntese apurada e premonitória da arquitetura moderna, de livre criação autoral que floresceu na Europa e nas Américas. Residence designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1952 for his dwelling. The house, owned by the family of the architect, is gently released for public viewing by its historical and achitectural interest.
