Rio de
Janeiro is one of the most spectacular cities on the planet. Even the
well-traveled individuals will love what the city has to offer. One
of the best ways to appreciate the setting is by going up Sugar Loaf
Mountain (Pao de Acucar), where you'll get a fantastic 360 degree view
of Rio and Guanabara Bay. Across the Bay, you will see the Rio-Niteroi
bridge. Cariocas (Rio natives) disagree on which point gives the most
wonderful view: Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf) or Cristo Redentor (Christ
the Redeemer), elected one of the "New 7 Wonders of the World".
It is well worth experiencing both and deciding afterwards which view
is better. Notice how the natural harbour is surrounded by lush, high
mountains that meet the sea in the world-famous beaches of Copacabana
and Ipanema.
Christ the Redeemer
on Corcovado Mountain gives an even higher perspective, and is the most
well known and recognized landmark of Rio. You can take a tram up to
the statue—the best view is on the right-hand side. From up here
you can see that Rio is divided by a mountain range into two areas:
the Zona Norte (North Zone) and the Zona Sul (South Zone). The Zona
Sul holds most of the city’s sights, including the Sugar Loaf and
the famous beaches.
With around 6 million
inhabitants, one of Rio's most precious resources is often overlooked:
its people. Brazil is a melting pot of races, colors and creeds. No
one race, color or religion dominates in Brazil. There is room for all,
and that includes the many visitors who come to Brazil each year from
every corner of the planet. Cariocas are particularly warm and fun loving.
