Rio de Janeiro is a beautiful place; however, physical attraction is not the only thing that resulted in me choosing Rio as my destination. Although I have not been to Rio, research has given me the impression that the area is culturally rich. My sisters and I love the movie, "Rio", which depicts some of the culture of the area. We all love the movie, so why not visit Rio de Janeiro to see and experience in reality?

Até a próxima vez
Although each of the categories are different, each category ties into another. For instance, the Full Day Tour involves lots of walking (Physical); however, it is primarily for education(intellectual). It includes the statue, Christ the Redeemer as well as the Metropolitan Cathedral, which can be seen as enriching in regards to spiritual(Spiritual). Being on a trip with family always makes things personal. It allows an individual to share memories with others enabling a sense of (Emotional) wellness.
Until next time
