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.

"Paço Imperial" had its construction started in 1748 at the old historical center of Rio. Nearby, on the blue waters of "Baía de Guanabara", a quay received all boats heading to the Portuguese colony of Brazil. Almost 300 hundred years later, many things have passed and Rio de Janeiro has changed a lot. But the old palace is still there, now a busy cultural center, housing important exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, photographies and on themes related to music and cinema. Just as a curiosity for foreign visitors, this "Paço Imperial" represents a lot to Brazilians - here the "Golden Law" ("Lei Áurea", in Portuguese) was signed, on May 13, 1888, by the Imperial Princess Isabel, finally freeing all slaves and abolishing totally slavery in Brazil. Fond memories of Brazilian history. Enjoy!
