Visitors to Rio Olympics will find all senses triggeredRIO DE JANEIRO — Right after getting off the plane, sweat beads will start to gather on your forehead. The slums of Rio, known as favelas, are the most colorful places in the city, culturally vibrant and filled with interesting people. Towering over the 2016 Summer Olympics host city is the Christ the Redeemer statue. Currently Rio only treats about 60 percent of its sewage, which means the waste from millions of residents finds its way into the water. In Brazil, prostitution is legal, though that doesn’t mean that you will see women and men hawking their bodies all over the city.
