Rihanna posted a series of scandalous photos, which will allegedly appear in Vogue Brazil, on Instagram on Jan. 20. While we’ve already seen a slew of sexy photos of the Barbadian beauty, these certainly take the cake – and no, we didn’t purposely reference Rihanna’s hot track “Birthday Cake,” but now that we have, we’ll be playing it on YouTube all day long.

Wearing a skimpy gold bikini, the “Stay” singer showed off her enviable body. In some photos, she loses the top piece and barely covers her breasts with her arms. Leave it to Rihanna to push the boundaries!

Over the course of the past few days,  it has become quite clear that Rihanna knows how to have fun in Brazil. But we have a list of other options – in case you’re not as comfortable with getting naked!

Grab your lover and frolick in the water at Iguassu Falls or just lounge on the sands of Copacabana Beach. You can also pay a visit to the Christ the Redeemer Statue. From its base, you'll be treated to a spectacular view of Rio, Sugarloaf Mountain, the UFO-like Contemporary Art Museum (MAC), the Guanabara Bay and Ipenema and Copacabana beaches (where Rihanna sported her now infamous gold bikini).

The beaches at Itacare, which are populated with hotels, bars and restaurants, while others are seemingly untouched, are another great option.

And if you enjoy fishing, Pantano do Sul is a traditional fishing village on the southern end of Florianapolis, where visitors can enjoy long days on the mile-long beach, and long nights of dining on some of the freshest catch around.

What do you think? Would you travel to Rio like Rihanna? If so, what activity would you most enjoy?
