I am Cristina

I am a *Carioca*—born and raised in Rio de Janeiro—and I am passionate about the culture of my city. As a tour guide, what delights me the most is seeing the sparkle in people\'s eyes when they witness the sunset at Ipanema for the first time, visit Christ the Redeemer, explore the neighborhoods and museums, and discover Brazilian art. With a background in art history, I combine my creativity and knowledge to guide friends in a relaxed, fun way, always revealing the stories and culture of the *Cidade Maravilhosa* (Marvelous City).
