Rio de Janeiro is a large city in Brazil, on the South Atlantic coast. Rio is famous for its breathtaking landscape, its laidback beach culture and its annual carnival. Beaches such as Copacabana and Ipanema, the Christ The Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) statue, the stadium of Maracana and Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pao de Acucar) are all well-known sights of what the inhabitants call the "marvelous city", and also the first images to pop up in someone's mind, along with the Carnaval celebration. The South Zone gathers most of Rio's landmarks and world-famous beaches, in an area of only 43.87 square km (17 square miles). Many of them are walking distance from each other. Most hotels and hostels are located in this side of the city, which is compressed between the Tijuca Range (Macico da Tijuca) and the sea. There are relevant places in other regions as well, such as Maracana stadium in the North Zone. The inhabitants of Rio, called cariocas, are known for being easy-going and friendly, in contrast to the more reserved citizens of other cities like Sao Paulo.
