  • Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL

    Rio de Janeiro, BRAZIL
    Usually referred to simply as "Rio," this Brazilian coastal city is famous for its annual Carnival celebration. Rio de Janeiro sees millions of tourists every year, more than any other South American city.

    Christ the Redeemer

    This statue is, above all else, the main symbol of Rio de Janeiro. Built on the top of Corcovado, a mountain that hovers above the city, the statue depicts Christ with his arms extended in a welcoming gesture.

    Corcovado

    The name of this mountain is Portuguese for "hunchback," a reference to the lopsided shape. At the peak lies the Christ the Redeemer statue, the most iconic symbol of Rio de Janeiro.

    Corcovado Rack Railway

    This train uses the traditional rack system, a special wheel designed for trains to travel uphill, in order to reach the peak of Corcovado in Rio. It carries passengers from the city below to Christ the Redeemer at the summit.

    Sambadrome

    The name given to an exhibition place for the Samba schools parades during Carnaval in Brazil. A sambadrome generally consists of tiered spectator viewing areas surrounding a long alley for the schools to parade down.

    La Boca

    La Boca
