The Christ ,Corcovado: Fabulous view on Rio from the Corcovado.
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Corcovado mountain is the best place to have a view on the Rio's bay (the Guanabara Bay). This is really the "postcard picture" !

    The best spot is not at the Christ, but on the road that leads to the Christ statue. I don't know if you can stop there is you take the litte train, because I took a taxi to go up.

    Don't miss it, it's really beautiful.

    Botanical Garden: Jardim Botanico : An Oasis of Green in the City
  • Tip Rating:
  • Rio's botanical garden is perfect to take a break after hard days of visits. It is amazing to find yourself almost in the forest while you're so close from the city.

    The range of giant "imperial" palm trees is beautiful and impressing. And the garden is full of lovely spots with ponds, fountains... It also tries to give a global view of Brazil's different ecosystems with for example an Amazonian part.

    If you take a close look at the trees you'll also be able to see some cute monkeys !

    Directions: Take a bus from the beaches with written "Jardim Botanico".

     I like your Corcovado photo - the way the beach is lit up in the sunlight.. Rio sounds great - were you there for the carnaval? I think it is on my must-do list..
