I had the privilege of leading a group of 27 MBA students on a tour of Rio and Sao Paulo during spring break. This marked my second visit to Brazil, a captivating country celebrated for its rich culture, history, religious traditions, and heritage. Our hotel was ideally situated, just across from the stunning Copacabana beach. During our journey, we explored a variety of fascinating sites, including Christ the Redeemer, Favela Cantagalo, Maracana Stadium, and Sugarloaf Mountain.
