About Río de Janeiro

Río de Janeiro se despliega entre montañas y océano: playas famosas, picos de granito, ritmos de samba y un carnaval conocido en todo el mundo.

El Cristo Redentor se alza con los brazos abiertos en lo alto del Corcovado, mirando la ciudad desde arriba, y los teleféricos suben al Pan de Azúcar para ofrecer vistas sobre la bahía de Guanabara. Abajo, las playas de Copacabana e Ipanema son el escenario de la vida diaria, con voleibol, quioscos y el paseo de dibujo ondulado, mientras Leblon y Arpoador prolongan la franja.

Top-ranked sights in Río de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
