Ixta Belfrage's insider guide to Rio de Janeiro

What’s your favourite destination and why?

Rio de Janeiro. It’s just got it all as a city — beaches, incredible food, amazing nature, hiking opportunities, incredible views and live music. My mum was born in Rio and now her family live in the north-east of Brazil. I’ve been going since I was a baby. There was a long stretch when I didn’t go in my teens, but then I lived there for a year when I was 19. And I’ve spent quite a bit of time there over the past few years while researching my book, FUSÃO.
