7.Find summer on the beaches of Brazil
When 2016 comes round,Rio de Janeiro will be very popular and fashionable,so why not get in before the Olympic rush?The country covers 9,000 kilometres of coastline and offers some of the most perfect beaches on the planet.
Just hearing the names Copacabana and Ipanema is enough to transport the imagination to a world of golden sands where perfect bodies play volleyball on the beach or bathe in the sunshine.Rio,Cidade Maravilhosa,the"wonderful city",is not content with being home to what are probably the two most famous beaches.Instead,the traveller has such a long list of appealing alternatives to choose from that it's not an easy decision:what about Botafogo beach with its views of the Sugar Loaf and Corcovado with the unmistakable Christ the Redeemer statue,for example,Leblon maybe,or Prainha,a favourite among surfers?
But if you're looking for less-spoiled settings,you don't need to go far:just a couple of hours north of Rio,there are a score of beaches offering a taste of paradise.And heading south,you'll find no fewer than two thousand beaches divided among the eight bays and 365 islands of Angra dos Reis-one island for every day of the year!Just a little farther on,almost on the border with the state of S?o Paulo,lies the small town of Paraty,the former colonial port from which gold and coffee was shipped to Lisbon.
