27 RIO HIGHLIGHTS

Ipanema Beach - one of the middle class suburbs of Rio has a thriving beach culture, trendy shops and restaurants


Corcovado hill on which stands Christ the Redeemer - the most prominent landmark which is visible from every quarter of Rio


It is especially nice on the top at sunset. Panoramas of the whole city including Copacabana beach, Botafogo Bay, Corcovado and the Christ can be seen





Above: Sugar Loaf Mountain and the cable car which takes the tourists there.


Lapa Quarter, one of the most popular night spots. In the picture above is another of the symbols of Rio: an old aqueduct on the top of which rides a tram (ferrrocaril) which takes you to the neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, in the hills above


Maracana Football Stadium. Another highlight not to be missed. Flamengo Vs Maracaibo 3: 1. Flamengo is one of the most loved teams by Cariocas
