The first thing to do in Rio de Janeiro is to go to the annual carnival. The long four days and four nights of the carnival in Rio are the lavish self-indulgent anything-goes exotic exhibitionist spectacle the world enjoys.

It is one of the largest football/soccer stadiums in the entire world with seating for 100,000 people. Quite impressive, isn't it?
