Ever since I was little boy I have been dreaming to come here.
I have read more about Brazil than about any other country.
And my dreams came true.....

|  | Corcovado Of course it is crowded with many tourists, but, nothing has prepared you for the view you will witness. Stand with the statue at your back, and to your left is Maracana and the northern districts. Straight ahead in the distance is Niteroi with its snaky bridge and Rio's other must see, the hump of the Sugar Loaf. To the right is the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in the foreground, and Copacabana and Ipanema beaches further out.

| | Striking landscape Rio de Janeiro - Cidade Maravilhosa has got its name on January(Janeiro) 1, 1502 from Portuguese navigators who mistook the entrance of Guanabara Bay for the mouth of a river. In 1562 the Portuguese King established the city. From 1763 till 1960 Rio was the capital of Brazil.

It was, obviously, the dream travel. Hope we'll see Rio, at least once in a lifetime. | joiwatani Mon Apr 13, 2009 18:23 UTC
