Review:
In the city of Rio de Janeiro, visitors will find no shortage of fantastic attractions and things to do. There’s the music and passion at the Copacabana Beach, made famous by Barry Manilow, or the illustrious Ipanema Beach, made famous by Frank Sinatra. On top of Mount Corcovado is the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, which, at 125 feet tall and on top of a mountain, towers above the city. From the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, which is accessible by cable car, visitors can get a glimpse of the city from above as well as the blue waters of the ocean at its edge. And if the timing is right, tourists in Rio can participate in Carnival, the massive celebration held each winter just before the beginning of Lent.
