Rio has just been voted the best gay destination in the world. Nearly 800.000 GLBT visitors come to Rio each year to enjoy its endless natural beauty and numerous gay venues such as hotels, restaurants, bars and night-clubs, rental car and cab services. Among the places most visited by LGBT tourists are the quarter of Ipanema, with its countless bars and night-clubs, as well as the beach that is k
nown as the most democratic in the world; Tijuca Forest – the world’s largest urban forest. The Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer (selected as one of the wonders of the modern world) and the Botanic Garden are also to be highlighted. On Friday nights, one of the greatest symbols of Carioca bohemian life, the quarter of Lapa, gathers a vast number of Gay tourists, which are spread among the many bars and musical show theatres. Electronic music parties are also among the most sought by LGBT tourists. The people of Rio (that call themselves Cariocas) are among the most open-minded people in the world.
