Amerigo Vespucci arrived here for the first time on 1st January 1502, leading a Portugeses expedition who, mistaking the bay for the mouth of a river, gave the area the name " January River". "Carioca", was the name given to the Europeans, by the local Indios, a nick-name, that even today is still used by the inhabitants of Rio.

It's impossible to accurately calculate the number of residents, those officially counted during the census in 2000, were 5,580,544, but the inhabitants of the Favelas, who may amount to the same number , constantly refuse to take part in any form of census.

Flashbooking staff and management have decided to put at travellers' and partner hostels' free disposal some useful tools as some pocket travel guides, written for giving the essential information about the most visited cities in the world.

Rio is one of the major economical and cultural centres of the South American Continent, an immense city, chaotic and contradictory, which symbolises and perfectly synthesizes the situation of the entire nation, both from the historical point of view and the a social point of view; Rio a city with a thousand faces.
