Shell mounds were the earliest evidence of habitation; they represent piles of human refuse (waste) and are mainly dated between 7500BC and 4000BC. They are associated with ceramic age cultures; no preceramic shell mounds have been documented so far by archaeologists.

Situated along the coast and with a string of beautiful beaches (the most famous being the Copacabana) this seaside city has sun, art, culture, and no shortage of fantastic visitor attractions.

Rio is home to dozens of beaches, all set along the spectacularly lush coast which is home to dozens of tall islands that dot the sea.
