Tribute to our Beautiful Rio de Janeiro

Tribute to our Beautiful Rio de Janeiro: "

During this past week we've seen hope hope and happiness getting stronger than never before in Rio de Janeiro. What the world might have seen as war, we've seen as the promise of a better life for the citizens of Rio taken seriously.

<!--break-->

Believe us when we say that never before we've seen hope shine in people's face like right now. They feel free without the fear they used to have, thanks to the awesome job of the police, along with the Brazilian Army. The sun is shinning again over Rio as a sign of happiness... the exact happiness that made it famous to the World. Peace, we welcome you once more.

And to pay a tribute to our beloved Rio de Janeiro, I've chosen some pictures and videos to you guys. This is the Rio we love. Drug free, peaceful. These are the pictures of some amazing photographers, so we encourage you to check out their portfolios by clicking each photograph. I hope you enjoy these, because it's time to celebrate Rio's freedom from fear. Cheers! ;)
