3rd World Congress on Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine

Come to Rio!

Participating in a scientific congress in Rio de Janeiro transcends academic and professional boundaries, immersing participants in a setting where natural exuberance and cultural effervescence meet. The city, globally known for its natural beauty and resources, offers top-tier infrastructure for hosting large events, perfectly blending leisure and business in a harmonious and pleasant environment.

With approximately 42,500 rooms available across a variety of accommodations, Rio is constantly investing in the hotel sector, prepared to welcome all types of visitors, whether for leisure, business, or events. The city provides comprehensive facilities and services for meetings and events, including professional organizers, travel agencies, audiovisual equipment, airlines, ground transportation, convention centers, and venues for social events, ensuring every aspect of the congress is flawless.

Beyond its event infrastructure, Rio de Janeiro enchants with its natural and cultural attractions. The city houses some of the world's most famous natural beauties, such as Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Copacabana Beach, in addition to having one of the largest urban forests in the world, Tijuca National Park, and a series of lagoons, waterfalls, and a beautiful bay, offering an abundance of natural beauty combined with urban growth. Cultural life in Rio is intense. The birthplace of samba, bossa nova, and chorinho, music permeates the city from dawn to dusk, whether at a seaside kiosk or in an authentic samba house. The Lapa region, near the center, balances traditional and contemporary music houses, reflecting the city's cultural dynamism. Rio de Janeiro is not only one of the largest economic and cultural centers in South America but also one of the most prepared destinations in the world to host events of all types and sizes, including cultural, sports, technical-scientific, fairs, exhibitions, and others. The hospitality and warmth in welcoming are great virtues of the Cariocas, making every visitor feel at home.

The city has hosted mega-events such as Rock in Rio, the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the 2016 Olympic Games, and many others, demonstrating its capacity to welcome large international audiences. With two main airports, RIO Galeão/Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport and Santos Dumont Airport, Rio offers easy access to national and international visitors, being minutes away from the main tourist attractions and hotels. Barra da Tijuca, known for its white sand beaches and clear waters, is a region that offers a variety of entertainment, leisure, and cultural options for tourists, and is an example of Rio de Janeiro's urban policy aimed at nature preservation. The city, which houses two of the three largest urban parks in the world, is a testament to the commitment to maintaining ecological treasures, offering a vast green area that covers a large part of its territory. Participating in a congress in Rio de Janeiro is, therefore, a unique opportunity to integrate scientific knowledge with unforgettable cultural and natural experiences, in a city that stands out not only for its ability to host large-scale events but also for its immense natural and cultural heritage. It is an experience that goes beyond learning and networking, providing participants with moments of leisure and inspiration in one of the most beautiful and vibrant settings in the world.
