Rio De Janeiro Facts

60% of the Amazon Rainforest is in Brazil, which houses a tenth of all species on the planet! Sloths, carpuchins & capybaras live here!

Rio is home to the bluest sky in the world. A researcher took a scientific tool around the world comparing skies & Rio De Janeiro was the bluest!

Samba is huge! Teams compete for best float, best dancing, best drumming & best flag bearers.
Would your group win?!

Football is a big deal in Brazil but they also invented beach tennis, frescobol & footvolley, a combination of football and volley ball!
