About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro ligt tussen bergen en oceaan, een stad van beroemde stranden, granieten pieken, sambaritmes en een wereldberoemd carnaval.

Christus de Verlosser staat met open armen boven op de Corcovado en kijkt neer op de stad, en kabelbanen klimmen naar de Suikerbroodberg voor uitzicht over de Guanabarabaai. Beneden zijn de stranden van Copacabana en Ipanema het toneel van het dagelijks leven, met volleybal, kiosken en de promenade met golfpatroon, terwijl Leblon en Arpoador de strook verlengen.

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