Some years ago there was a Tarboard discussion about the real "Rio". I think the conclusion was that "Rio" , both in AR's books and in the shanties, referred to the historic port of Rio Grande in Brazil, in the far south of the country in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is still a very busy port today.
