We drove to Rio de Janeiro city to catch our early morning flight to Curitiba the next day. On our way we got a picture of a small favela "slum". Supposedly, this is a nicer favela because there are some houses make of bricks...We spent one night at Copacabana beach, and it was amazing, even if it was rainy and very cloudy. We visited the famous Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf), a huge rock at the edge of the city! We took public transportation to the Sugar Loaf (R$1.90 = US$.80) We went up the Sugar Loaf and saw...clouds...
Below is a picture of a temporary walkway to the second gondola on the sugar loaf.
We did not get a chance to visit the Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer Statue), but we did get a glimpse of it the next morning on our way to the airport. We also visited a health store in Rio where we purchased banana candy...yumm, it was so good.
