One can not come to Rio de Janeiro and miss  the most famous landmark in Brazil - the Statue of Christ (Cristo Redentor).

The statue is located in the Tijuca National Park - the largest urban rainforest in the world! The views and statue itself are breathtaking and will never be forgotten. Another great photo opportunity is the Dona Martin Lookout Point where one has an unobstructed view of the entire city!

Next it is off to Tijuca Forest where we will see the waterfalls and the same type of Rain Forest that the early settlers to Brazil encountered when they landed. On the way back, we drive through the Barra da Tijuca area, which is the fastest growing neighborhood in Rio, and home to the longest beach at over 14kms. Other beaches that we will pass include Sao Conrado, Leblon, Ipanema, and finally Copacabana.
