The eyes of the world will be on Rio de Janeiro in August, as the Olympic Games will take place in this exuberant Brazilian city.

Rio is home to the famous carnival that takes place every year and the entire city is turned into one gigantic, flamboyant party.

The carnival atmosphere lives on year round, so let your spirit Latino take over and embrace the rhythms of Rio.
