Places to Visits
Sugar Loaf, Rio de Janeiro
The immediately identifiable emblem of Rio de Janeiro, the rounded rock of the Sugar Loaf juts out of the tree-covered promontory, rising 394 meters above the beaches and the town. The top is one of the first places to visit Rio and the harbor.
Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro
The giant Art Deco statue of Christ, dubbed Jesus the Redeemer (Jesus the Redeemer), with its arms outstretched 28 meters, as if to encompass all mankind.
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro
The most trendy and popular area of downtown Rio parallels Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana and is bordered on one side by four kilometers of white sand and surf breaks.
Iguaçu Falls
At the point where Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina meet, the Iguaçu River drops spectacularly into a semicircle of 247 waterfalls that plunge into the gorge below. Just before the waterfalls, the river is limited to one-fourth of its normal width, making the strength of the water even greater.
Amazon Rain Forests
Approximately 20 kilometers southeast of Manaus, the dark waters of the Rio Negro cross the light muddy waters of the Rio Solimões, which flow side by side for about six kilometers before being mixed as the Amazon.
Salvador's Pelourinho
The Cidade Alta (Upper Town) of the former colonial capital of Brazil has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its exceptional array of colonial buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, the finest in South America.
