Sugarloaf Hill stands in the bay 1300 ft (395 meters) over the ocean and safeguards the entrance to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Every first-time vacationer to Rio ought to make the voyage up to the top of this amazing mountain. The top is achieved by way of a 2 phase cable car. The traveler will get pleasure from wide ranging views of Ipanema and Copacabana Beaches to the west, together with greater Rio de Janeiro towards the east.

The impressive one hundred twenty-five ft. high Christ the Redeemer Statue that stands upon Corcovado Mountain, has been watching over the town with outstretched arms since 1931. It is one of the more explored of the Rio de Janeiro sights. Nearly as remarkable as the statue itself will be the sights of Rio and the encircling areas from the platform at the foundation.

A short distance by cab or tour van will take you to the "Floresta da Tijuca" which is a portion of a larger national park. This park is all that remains within the Rio section of the "Mata Atlantica" (Atlantic seaside rain forest). Any journey to Brazil should include a guided Rio de Janeiro sightseeing journey to the Tijuca Forest. No matter if you stop at the primary sights by tour van, or take an all day hiking excursion, you will have a extremely memorable outdoor adventure.

The Jardim Botanico (Botanical Garden) was developed by the Prince Regent Dom Joao in 1808, right after the Portuguese royal family fled Europe from the coming of Napoleon's troops. These extensive exotic gardens cover more than half a square mile and include thousands of kinds of exotic plants and trees. Jardim Botanico is a short cab or bus journey from Ipanema or Copacabana, so do not lose out on this wonderful half day venture!

The historical Bohemian communities of Lapa and Santa Teresa are going through rebirth and revitalization after a period of decay. Lapa is found right behind the city center and it is connected with its renowned aqueduct (Arcos da Lapa) on what the Tram (Bonde) operates up and back from the hillside community of Santa Teresa. Lapa is the place of numerous Samba and other music nightclubs and dancing halls and must be visited during the night.
