About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is one of the world's most beautiful cities — where Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, and the curves of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches create a natural setting of extraordinary drama. Carnival is the world's greatest party; the rest of the year is nearly as good.

Known for its Copacabana, Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Carnival, caipirinha, Rio de Janeiro is one of the world's most sought-after travel destinations. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, a destination wedding, a group adventure, or a solo journey, The Wedding Unicorn handles every detail — from flights and accommodations to private excursions and special occasion touches.
