Rio de Janeiro – January 24
There are some places where a picture is worth way more than a thousand words….and Rio is definitely one of those places. We headed to Corcovado mountain to see the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer which has recently been named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. We enjoyed a ride through the Tijucan Rainforest on the quaint cogwheel train to reach the peak. There was a group of locals in our car entertaining us with….what else??....samba music!
After lunch we managed a drive-by of Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. Our guide, Fernando, was kind enough to serenade us with a Portuguese version of “The Girl from Ipanema.”
The other must-see spot in Rio is Sugar Loaf Mountain. The summit is reached by cable car in two separate stages.
