If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a horrible warning.

Rio de Janeiro

by histrionia62 - last update: Jul 21, 2004

Corcovado

Corcovado

This gigantic statue atop a mountain overlooks Rio de Janeiro from the west and is an unmistakable landmark. It is near the Tijuca Forest and a tour of Corcovado and the Tijuca Forest is well worth a day.

Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf or Pao de Azucar is another unmistakable Rio landmark and is well worth the trip up just to soak up the view. It is in the middle of the city and easy to get to. Don't miss it.
Sugarloaf
Buzios

Get out of town

Buzios is a charming beach town north of Rio. If you are going to get of town for the day, Buzios is a great destination away from the hustle and bustle of Rio.
