During the 6 hours ride from São Paulo you see a beautiful country side:
... but once you arrive there, hehe, the beach is calling already: Ipanema Beach, if I remember right...
And the beach gives you what you need: Cangas, Brazilian beach towels...
It is quite crowded... weekday on the picture, imagine the weekends...
the favela Rocinha (I think...), they probably have the nicest view onto Ipanema beach
it's so easy to take nice pictures in Rio...
Another day, another beach: Prainha at nine o'clock in the morning...
Some pictures from down town, close to the area Santa Teresa:
On an old tram on a viaduct through the center:
Rio summarized in a painting...
You can see clearly the line between the favela and the non-favela:
The mosaic stairs... they told me that it is kinda "alive", since the artist is always working on it and he exchanges pieces of the stairs:
Another day, another... you know... beach hehehe. This time it's some part of Barra Beach. This beach is something about 20 km in length:
Canga seller...
beach fruits:
The view from Morro da Urca, haven't been on the Pão de Açúcar [Sugar Loaf] though (2nd pic), it was too cloudy as you can see...
View to the Crist statue, he is literally watching over the city:
Back on the streets:
Well, the part of the trip which I HAD to do... visiting the Crist on the Corcovado... wasn't so lucky with the weather though. On the first picture you can see a hint of the Maracanã stadium, the forth largest stadium in the world (around 100'000 spectators max):
Best picture I got of him...
But at least I wasn't the only one who was unlucky that day... hehehe... my fellow 32R$-for-a-crappy-view-spenders as well :D
At last some pictures from the famous Copacabana beach:
Sort of liked this quote, because it seems to me that it fits although it's formulated quite harshly:
