Visitors to Rio Olympics will find all 5 senses triggered

Look around and you will be enveloped by shades of green — lush tropical forests jammed between buildings of all sizes — and tones of blue along the miles of inviting coastlines.
Towering over the 2016 Summer Olympics host city is the Christ the Redeemer statue. After a few days, you might chuckle when a hotel brochure or tour guide tries to sell you something by saying it "includes" a view of the statue.
Jesus is everywhere here, as is plenty of temptation and sin.
