Rio de Janeiro - Part 1

Rio de Janeiro is a vibrant city with 12 million inhabitants in the urban areas. We stayed at a relatively small hotel directly on the famous Cocobana Beach, having a front-row view of the city life.

 

Notable and famous sights at the Sugarloaf Mountain, the Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain, the Maracanã Stadium, among many others, like eating real Brazilian food.

 

The folder labelled Part 1 contains a trip by cable car to  Sugarloaf Mountain, a sightseeing trip, some good food, and walking the Cococabana Beach.
