Known as one of the world’s most famous beaches, it stretches along the coast for 4.5 kilometers. With its blue waters, white waves, clean, soft sand, and year-round pleasant temperatures for swimming, it’s always bustling with visitors.
Sugarloaf Mountain
A famous landmark in Rio de Janeiro, this mountain is named for its resemblance to a French loaf of bread. It’s approximately 400 meters high, consisting of two peaks, one resembling a horizontal loaf and the other a vertical one. Its highest peak reaches 396 meters, and tourists can reach the top via a cable car with glass walls.
Carnival
Many Christian countries celebrate Carnival, but for scale, participation, richness of content, and the fervor of the atmosphere, Brazil’s Carnival is unparalleled, with Rio de Janeiro being the highlight among its cities.
Every year in mid to late February, Brazil celebrates for three days and nights. People from all over the city pour into the streets, young and old, dressed in vibrant costumes, moving their hips, waving their hands, and dancing samba as if to release all the worries and toil of the past year.
Escadaria Selarón
Located in the Lapa district, the Selarón Steps are a must-visit for cultural tours in Rio. Originally just an ordinary concrete staircase in a favela, in 1990, Chilean artist Selarón began decorating it with tiles salvaged from trash heaps. Later, with contributions from tourists and his own creations, he completed this 250-step masterpiece.
This staircase in the favela is a famous photography spot in Rio and one of the city’s landmarks. It has been featured by National Geographic, Playboy magazine, and in music videos by famous artists like U2’s “Walk On” and Snoop Dogg.
