Corcovado, Sugarloaf Mountain, and its Carnival festival, the seaside city is lively, to say the least! You can enjoy evening meals at the Fasano al Mare or take a dip in the infinity pool while sipping a cocktail.
Built in on Mt. The best time to check out the statue is before am. Have the driver drop you at the bottom, if you want to save some money, because rides to the top are more expensive. You have the option to take the tram up the mountain to Cristo. If the line is too long, take one of the vans that offers group rides to the last stop before taking an official van to the top! Either way, you will need to take one of the official vans for the final leg to Cristo Redentor.
Helpful Tip: The tram does accept credit cards, but the vans do require cashβso make sure to have some handy! The cafezinho little espresso is a popular welcome drink in Brazil that is often imbibed at work, at home, and at sophisticated boutiques. It reaches the summit of 1 , feet with a stop at Morro da Urca along the way. The cars run every 30 minutes and have a total of 2, visitors each dayβso come early to avoid the lines! Rio is home to various colorful and distinct neighborhoods. The city is divided into three zonesβthe Zona Norte, the older Centro , and the beach-lined Zona Sul.
Take a few days to check out funky , picturesque Lapa, the bohemian Santa Teresa, music β and movie-laden Botafogo, or the trendy Leblon. Prefer to avoid the crowd? Opt for Leblon, the quieter, but equally beautiful sister beach. The Jardim Botanico is a great place to take your camera. The garden is huge and has hundreds of plants from all over the world. Founded in , the gardens now house around 6, species, including orchids, cacti, and carnivorous plants. Lapa is an excellent nightlife district.
