The largest South American city, São Paulo, lies on the Piratininga plateau, surrounded by rivers that make their way inland.

We have entered the year 2022 and many of us have vowed to visit one of the world's destinations this year. But why stand in lines full of tourists and watch the world's most recognizable sights together with thousands, if you can visit some of the places that have not yet been covered by mass tourism?
The fate of most Olympic facilities is cruel. This was also confirmed by the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where the facilities are crumbling miserably after the withdrawal of athletes, spectators and cameras. The saddest image is shown by the famous Maracana stadium, where the finals of the World Cup were held in 2014, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics took place here last summer. Meanwhile, the Olympic venues in PyeongChang, which will host the 2018 Winter Olympics, are getting their beautiful look.

The film by the production company Amazon Studios is based on the bestselling book The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon (2009) by writer David Grann.
Photographer Ricardo Stuckert came across an unusual sight while flying over the Amazon in Brazil. He discovered an Amazonian tribe that had no contact with the outside world and until now no one knew of their existence. Who would have thought that in the 21st century we would ever get an indigenous insight into the Neolithic way of life when spears, arrows and bows ruled! According to Survival International, over 100 intact tribes still live in the world today.
Street Art 2.0 is an art project by Philippe Echaroux, in which this Frenchman uses light instead of sprays and, in contrast to graffiti, otherwise the most typical representatives of street art, his works harmlessly intervene in the space. For his last canvas, he chose a tropical rainforest, where by projecting portraits of the Surui tribe onto the treetops, he drew attention to the problem and consequences of excessive deforestation.

Rio 2016 has already served up countless memorable scenes and moves worthy of all respect, but in the preliminaries of the 5000 meters we witnessed the peak of the Olympic spirit. It featured American and New Zealand runners, Abbey D'Agostino and Nikki Hamblin, working together to reach the finish line after falling in the crowd about 2,000 meters from the finish line. Watch probably the best moment from the Olympics.
So far, 43 different sports have been present in the Olympic program at the Summer Olympics. The current program of the Summer Olympics includes 28 sports with 38 disciplines. In the past, many sports were also present at the Olympic Games, which we will not see at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Such are tug-of-war and hot air ballooning. This year, after more than 100 years, golf returned to the list, and in 2014 the International Olympic Committee removed the restriction that only 28 sports could be represented at the Olympic Games, which was often the main reason that certain sports fell out of the program. The limit is now 10,500 athletes and 310 events, which will apply for the first time at POI Tokyo 2020.
