Further to everything a big city has to offer,
lifestyle in Rio de Janeiro includes enviable mix of outdoor
activities, healthy living, informal and improvised social
gatherings, sports practice, and charming pastimes such as fishing
and kite flying.
In appreciation of the population's
engagement with their natural surroundings and penchant for
socializing, the government has supported and enhanced fitness
practices across the city through events, competitions and the
creation of recreational spaces and resources.
Several
private enterprises also look to cater to the active and outdoor
nature of inhabitants and contribute by offering classes and
activities to improve fitness and enhance skills, keeping abreast of
the latest world trends while giving it a Carioca spin.
