Host city of the 2016 Olympic Games (3,2,7)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for rio de janeiro that I've seen before include "long-haul holiday destination" , "Brazilian carnival city" , "foreign port" , "place" , "Brazilian port and former capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
