Tourism day 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"RioView\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

View over Rio towards the Cristo Redentor<\/a> statue in the distance from the half-way station [22 57 5 S, 43 9 55 W] of the Sugarloaf mountain cable car on Morro de A\u00e7\u00facar.<\/p>\n

\"RioHelicopter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Helicopter taking off from the helipad on Morro de A\u00e7\u00facar for an aerial tour of Rio.<\/p>\n

\"RioBoats\"<\/a> \"RioBay\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Looking west towards Botafogo beach<\/a> [22 56 50 S, 43 10 40 W].\u00a0 (R) Looking east out towards the Guanabara Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"SugarLoafCableCar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Second leg of the cable car to Sugarloaf mountain itself.\u00a0 The name comes from the resemblance between the shape of the hill and the conical “sugarloaf<\/a>” produced by traditional sugar refining.<\/p>\n

\"SugarLoafLizard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From a distance Sugarloaf mountain looks like just a bare rock, but forests, complete with wildlife, reach right up to the top.\u00a0 This lizard was a more patient photography subject than the marmosets.<\/p>\n

\"SugarLoafIpanemaView\"<\/a><\/p>\n

View from Sugarloaf towards Copacabana beach.<\/p>\n

\"RioBay2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

View of the channel connecting Guanabara Bay to the ocean.\u00a0 The impressive Rio-Niter\u00f3i bridge<\/a>, which crosses the the bay, can be seen to left.<\/p>\n

\"RioCove\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The tiny, but beautiful Vermelha beach [22 57 20 S, 43 9 53 W].<\/p>\n

\"RioBeachFootball\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Final classic image of footballers on Copacabana beach.<\/p>\n
