Being a sunny city
blessed by a warm climate, Rio de Janeiro is the perfect place to
develop a solid sports culture, as people are drawn to the streets
by the optimal temperature. Sunny days, heat, and blue horizons
created an intensely outdoor culture, where sports and activities
play an important role in everyday's life in the city.
Beaches for swimming, forests for hiking, and mountains for climbing
make of Rio de Janeiro one of the biggest, most fun, most diverse,
open-air gyms in the world. Sporting events throughout the city are
the ideal setting for Cariocas to combine their passion for sports
with their predilection for socializing and the grandiose spectacle.
