Rio de Janeiro is a huge seaside city in Brazil, famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, 38m Christ the Redeemer
statue atop Mount Corcovado and for Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit. The city is also
known for its sprawling favelas (shanty towns). Its raucous Carnaval festival, featuring parade floats, flamboyant
costumes and samba dancers, is considered the world’s largest.
