The stunning 125 ft. high Christ the Redeemer Sculpture that appears upon Corcovado Mountain, has long been watching over the metropolis with outstretched arms since 1931. It's amongst the most explored of the Rio de Janeiro sights. Nearly as impressive as the sculpture itself will be the vistas of Rio and the encircling zones from the platform at the bottom.

A short distance by taxi cab or tour van will take you to the "Floresta da Tijuca" which happens to be part of a larger national park. This park is all that remains from the Rio area of the "Mata Atlantica" (Atlantic coastal rainforest). Any journey to Brazil should include a guided Rio de Janeiro sightseeing visit to the Tijuca Forest. No matter if you stop by the primary sights by tour van, or take on an all day hiking tour, you will have a extremely noteworthy outdoor adventure.

Jardim Botanico is a brief taxi cab or bus journey from Ipanema or Copacabana, so don't lose out on this wonderful half day excursion!

Lapa is the area of many Samba as well as other music clubs and dance places and should be visited at night.
